FWIW, I do have those lines from atkbd, blamed on X in my logs as I startx. And, I have an occasional attack of spasticity in my mouse, on this machine only (VIA 8233 chipset) since back in later 2.4 days. I've even posted about it, but its not a *huge* problem, just a minor aggravation. The exact same mouse model, and mouse cause I've traded them (a pair of logitech usb optical wheel mice) has no trouble at all on an old TYAN S-1590 mobo. ISTR its running some version of 2.4.20 yet, with lots of guard dogs, its my firewall. >-- Jamie >- >To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe > linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org >More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html >Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
