It is software on mine. I can boot the new kernels and it is jumpy as crap. It is really slow to respond and when it does, it just jerks all over the place and is difficult to click on links and buttons. I can reboot with the old kernel and it works fine, just like it should. Same mouse, same computer, same everything except a different kernel. I can repeat that process and get the same results every time. Also, it even does this when my system is not real busy. I do run folding but it will do it even when folding is not running. It is also slow to switch desktops and such as well. I can even out type the thing when booted off the newer kernels. My system: AMD 2500+ Barton CPU, 2Gbs of ram with 2 80GB IDE drives. 1GB of swap with none being used. 19 inch Gateway monitor running 1280x1024. My mouse is a optical Logitech model M-BJ58. This may be hardware for some but it is kernel here. I just built a new one, linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r7, and plan to try it next to see if I get the same results. If I do, I plan to stick with the old linux-2.6.23-gentoo-r8 until it no longer supports my hardware or something makes it not work anymore. Dale :-) :-)
