As far as I can see kbdrate is NOT being run from /etc/bashrc, 
/etc/profile or any script in /etc/profile.d

It may be of interest that I've had to use psmouse.proto=imps in order 
to stop problems I was experiencing whereby back scroll on the mouse 
wheel was being interpreted as a right click.  Both the mouse and the 
keyboard are cordless (Logitech Navigator Duo) and are being used via a 
KVM switch (1TEN CS-14).

dmesg output is attached as requested.  Unfortunately, there's a bit 
missing from the start.  I think this is because the typing I have to do 
to get a writable file system to save dmesg to causes lots of output 
from your debug code.  If the missing output is a problem I can try 
harder to get a complete version.
