Ok, I'm an idiot for not CC'ing to the lkml, so here's my reply to Randy.

Thanks,

I apologize for forgetting to give you the details.  I thought I had, but, oh
well...here they are (if you need more, just tell me).


I'm using gpm 1.20.0, and X 4.2.0 (earliest X that supports radeon 8500).  I'm
using kernel 2.4.18, and it also happens w/ kernel 2.4.19.  If you want me to
give you my .config file for the kernel, I can.

As for the hardware side, I have a microsoft intellimouse ps2, which worked for
about 15 months, and still does work sometimes, and I've also tried with a
microsoft trackball which is known good.  My motherboard is Asus A7V266-E, but
I'm not using RAID, and I have a KeyTronic keyboard, and the proc is
AthlonXP1800+, w/ 512MB RAM.  Dunno how much this helps you, but I hope at
least a little.

Thanks,
Justin Hibbits
