Well, it's an ISA bus mouse. I bought this thing back in 1994. It's
an IMSI mouse. I'll bet this stupid thing could last for 5 more
years. :-)

Yeah, I don't know. It happens extremely rarely. Maybe it's because
I have an ISA bus mouse. I suppose I really should be using a PS/2 or
USB mouse. (BTW, is a PS/2 mouse a type of bus mouse?)

What I did was "killall moused". Maybe this is where the problem is.

Well, I made the kernel about a couple of d/ays back. As for the rev
numbers, they're:
1.334 for sys/dev/syscons/syscons.c, and
1.10 for /sys/dev/syscons/scmouse.c.
I really don't think it's worth messing with too much, as it happens
extremely rarely. Must be a freak occurence. I don't think it's
worth pursuing any further, unless other people start complaining of
similar problems. I'll try kill -HUP next time, and hopefully that
will help...
