dmesg attached It's a known issue under discussion in the freebsd-x11 list at the moment= =2E Something in the latest gnome upgrade went a bit askew, and hal is runnin= g rampant and causing havoc. Some suggested fixes are: * Reconfigure Xorg so it recognises your mouse as /dev/usm0 (for USB m= ice) or /dev/psm0 (for ps/2 mice) rather than /dev/sysmouse * Apply a patch to the sysutils/hal port created by Joe Marcus Clarke = -- see http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/2008-March/006210.htm= l * Recompile x11-servers/xorg-server after toggling off the HAL support= in the OPTIONS dialogue. However, all of these are still in really the very early stages of debugg= ing and solving this problem. Any of the proposed solutions has undesirable side= effects which may or may not preclude your being able to use them. I recommend t= hat you read the entire thread 'X pausing until mouse move' starting here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/2008-March/006179.html so you understand the pros and cons as well as is possible before trying = anything.
