Just another data point: FreeBSD 2.2-Alpha and XFree86-32 on a P-166
with an adaptec 2940 controller, SCSI disk, 3C900 ethernet, a Matrox
Millenium, and a two-button PS/2 mouse. Pretty much a vanilla kernel
and XF86Config.
Mostly things are working great!
However, every now and then X gets weird. The odd stuff seems to
start when I'm doing things that involve a lot of `clicking the
mouse'. Once the weird stuff starts, <Ctrl>-<Alt>-<Bkspc> is the only
way out. Some of the things that have happened include:
* the pointer jumps toward the upper right corner.
* windows act as if they got a button events.
* the keyboard stops working. Or rather, it generates seemingly
random characters.
* the pointer starts moving in `slow motion'.
Sorry I can't characterize things better; I'm still looking for the
pattern to the behavior.
I'm not sure what to blame. Am I seeing a bug in FreeBSD? XFree86??
Is the video card the culprit???
Any thoughts or pointers to where I should look to find better clues?
