A reboot or two will fix the problem, but it might start up again later. If I reboot an old kernel the problem will not occur. Normally I'd blame this on bogus hardware, but given that I can boot an old kernel and it works fine I'm leaning towards software. However, this problem only occurs on my P/75 laptop, and not on my desktop box. This problem showed up in the last 2 weeks, but I had other modifications on my system that I blamed it on. I've since removed all of them and the problem persists. Nate ps. I'm going to be committing a new PS/2 mouse driver as soon as the network between MT and WC clears whenever I get time. :)
