i don't know if it's the same exact problem, as it happened to me on sid, and i can't remember who first posted what worked as the solution in my case, but you might want to give it a try. it came up again here on the list earlier. in /etc/gpm.conf, do repeat_type=raw and in /etc/X11/XF86Config, do Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata" i'd be interested in your analysis of why this should work. all i know is that it does. ben
