There is still a big problem with the PS/2 and keyboard.

Note that while using the mouse and typing at the same time this problem
occurs.  

I just tried upgrading to XF86 3.3 and the problem continues.
Now that my built-in serial ports aren't being recognized for some 
strange reason, I'm using the PS2 port for my mouse!

Who's fault is this? (in terms of the kernel)
