 I have a S3-864 based video board in my 3.0-current box. 
 (2.2-970310-GAMMA uses the same syscons and moused code as -current)
 My 2.2 test box doesn't have a S3 video card, and runs moused fine.
 Never had and heard this problem on both systems before...
 
 Do you use either screen saver, blink cursor, or destructive cursor?
 
 Does the screen go blank even if you don't touch the keyboard or the
 mouse?  Or, does the mouse movment seem to trigger blanking?
 
 Did you experience the same probelm before under previous 2.2-ALPHA, -BETA, 
 and -GAMMA releases?
