And I fear it is just the begining. I assume you did not create any custom hald rule. Did you ? The first thing to do is to add Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off" In your ServerLayout section of xorg.conf. Then restart X and try to plug a mouse again. It may result in your mouse not working in X, but at least it should stop your computer from using all it's CPU trying to map the mouse. If indeed the CPU load does not reach skyhigh levels when you plug a USB mouse, we will be able to conclude that there is a DBus/hald problem. Also could you do the following - Mouse unplugged : # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald stop # /usr/local/sbin/hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes>> /tmp/hald_debug.log 2>&1 # dbus-launch lshal>> /tmp/dbus_hal_debug.log 2>&1 - plug mouse # dbus-launch lshal>> /tmp/dbus_hal_debug.log 2>&1 And post the content of both log files ? That should help in understanding what is going on. In the worst case there are mecanism that will keep HAL from tinkering/probing usb mouse. Jerome Herman
