Hey I had the same problem but I assumed it was because I was slightly
overclocking an amd k6-2 500 to 550
on a cheap old e-machine via-based motherboard. I applied your patch and now
my mouse works. thanks!

switch anymore anyways, just vnc on the rare occasion I feel like playing
with x on this box.
