Subject: kernel-2.6.0-test2 speedy gonzalez mouse

2.6.0-test2 works great for me, with the exception of the
mouse, which seems to have been hyper-accelerated by the kernel
upgrade. I've had to turn the mouse speed and acceleration to
the very lowest possible, and even then, it's pretty hard to
hit something the first time.

My config and dmesg are attached, I do have Anticipatory Scheduling
enabled, if that makes a difference.

System stats are:

Redhat 9
Pentium 3, 700MHZ
512 MB RAM

You have the /dev/psaux device enabled in the kernel, and chances are your
X server is reading from /dev/input/mice as well. Try disabling the psaux
device in the kernel, or removing one of the mouse lines from XF86Config.

Same thing I reported yesterday -
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=105945659716778&w=2

My system is idle and it happens after I boot and move the
mouse with gpm or XFree86.

If I only load mousedev is doesn't work. If I then load psmouse
it goes insane with any of /dev/misc/psaux, /dev/input/mouse0,
and /dev/input/mice.

BTW, if I rmmod psmouse and startx the keyboard locks. It
doesn't if I don't load psmouse.

The mouse works with ACPI, but then I lose sound and USB as in
2.4.21 with messages like 'ACPI: No IRQ known for interrupt
pin'. It also doesn't work with just IO-APIC, but even if it
did I lose network as in 2.4.21.
