is it USB or PS2 mouse?
this looks like gnome issue, sunce mouse is visible while rhgb running, but mouse can be configured directly in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf; can you send us context of this file?
also, you can disable rhgb; check the file /boot/grub/menu.lst and (after backup to /root/important/ or other safe from users directory) and delete every "rhgb" you find

Hi Siva,
I have been battling with the same problem for a few weeks now. From everything I can find it appears that the graphics controller on these motherboards (mine has the C15G nVidia chipset and the controller is recognised as a GEForce 6100).
I followed Jim Perrin's instructions and downloaded and installed the nVidia driver from RPMForge and still have the same problem. My next step is to try to find a PCI or PCI express graphics card that is supported by Linux so that I can start using this server.
The subject of the thread in which my problems were discussed is: "nVdia C15G chipset and GeForce 6100 on board graphix controller"
Sorry that I cannot give you more positive feedback but hope that this helps in some way.
