Bob's reply is not only more specific, but I believe the correct one. Change your IRQ's and/or DMA channels. If it does end up being a bug in x, I still wonder if changing the mouse/pointer device type might help simply by throwing in an entirely different set of problem variables such as hardware handling...<br><br><b><i>Scrappy Laptop <scrappylaptop@yahoo.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> Out of curiosity, have you tried a different type of mouse? That is, instead of ps/2 try usb or vice-versa...The first time I ran into this problem was back in the late 90's. I tracked it down to being a DMA or other bus contention, but it was long enough ago that I don't recall which device was usually the cause and which the victim. You might also try changing the sampling rate of the mouse to see if that has any effect.<br><br>-Frank<br><br><b><i>Dave
