Like I said in the previous e-mail, I'm using right now an Asus A7V mobo with Linus' stock kernel 2.2.18 with André's patches. I'm using basically a Debian potato here with XFree86 3.3.6 and a Microsoft Intellimouse (with IMPS/2 protocol) and everything seems to be working fine. Before my brand new 40GB Samsung HD died, I was using a more modified potato, including XFree86 4.0.1e (or 4.0.1f, I don't remember). Everything was also working fine with this older setup. > On my new ASUS board, ps/2 mouse devices (just in X, gpm works fine) > act a little crazy (random mouse movement, random clicking, etc., > except I'm not the one doing all the random movement).

I usually only follow Alan's pre series when things are broken with the final releases, so I don't know about 2.2.18preX. I'm sorry that I can't help. > I think I'm going to try using the mouse as a usb device and see if > I still have trouble. Unfortunately, I have never ever seen a USB device, so I have no experience here to help you. > Anyway, just wondering if you're seeing the same problem. No, but have you tried changing the mouse? I've had problems with a Matrox G400 AGP 16MB monohead that I purchased when I got my system. It did crash when X was running in Linux and FreeBSD (and many versions of X, for that matter), but under Windows it worked flawlessly. When I used Matrox's drivers with XFree86 4.x, it worked perfectly. I changed my Matrox and now I'm using a new one under X 3.3.6 under potato (a stable platform that I use) and everything is fine). So, perhaps you could try changing your mouse?
