ACPI in Via Apollo (vt82C686) broken badly in 2.4.x ?

ACPI in Via Apollo (vt82C686) broken badly in 2.4.x ?

[safemode]

Well, it seems the only way to look at sensor readings with lmsensors is
to activate acpi in linux for my motherboard.  According to the docs, my
motherboard is supposed to be supported and is detected when linux
boots, the problem comes when i try to move the mouse (in console and
X).  It totally flips out, i get irregular mouse movement across the
screen and button clicks when i just barely touched it.  It is directly
related to enabling acpi so i was wondering if anyone else has had this
problem and if there was/is a fix for it or if it's a bug right now.
If there is specific debugging info that i can get to help, tell me
where... dmesg just shows successful messages.

Can you please send me the output from dmesg, as well as /proc/interrupts? I
don't think anyone's tried lmsensors and acpi. It may be that they will need
some work to coexist..

Never seen that before.. does /proc/interrupts indicate mouse driver and
acpi are sharing one?

The problem wasn't actually with lmsensors together with ACPI yet...  Just
enabling ACPI with this board causes the mouse to go insane.   i will however
recompile the stock 2.4.0 kernel that recently came out to test it again.  I'll
give you output from dmesg and /proc/interrupts before lmsensors is loaded and
after (after a new recompile of the drivers too).   I can tell you know though,
the acpi bus? is running on int 5 according to the bios.  ... Should have the
output ready within the hour.
