Whenever I start a program that frequently polls for acpi-information (eg. the Gnome Battstat Monitor), my mouse goes wild. The cursor starts jumping and keeps dancing around until I kill the application. I'm currently using kernel version 2.5.70 but I had the problem also in earlier versions. Oh, my computer is a Acer Travelmate 220. Do you need further information? Can you help me? ;) Any help is appreciated. Raphael Bosshard (Please cc me, I'm not subscribed to the list. Thanks)
