This happens not only under X, but in normal vtys too. You can type some keys, wait a few seconds, then the characters appear. After this, the keyboard works fine (for a while). Under X (using xfce4), the mouse freezes for a few seconds in random windows (indepedent of the program), then it jumps back up to life after 2 to 5 seconds. This happens even when the mouse is currently being moved (so it's not the X server being swapped in so somesuch). The cursor freezes while in motion, and it reappears a few seconds later an another location. This is on a FreeBSD 5.3-BETA7 from Oct 5th. Regards, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
