I have a USB mouse and I see similar problems: Red Hat 9 (more or less), XFree86-4.3.0-2, kernel 2.6.0-test10, dual athlon, USB Logitech optical mouse, configured to read from /dev/input/mice (only!). Every few hours the mouse suddenly jumps to a corner of the screen and seems broken for a second or so. After that I can move it back to where it is useful. I never noticed such behaviour when running 2.4 on this box, nor when running earlier 2.6 kernels. There is nothing about "atkbd" or "mouse" or "lost synchronisation" in the kernel log. -- Jamie
