Hmmm, I have a machine like that, hanging with mouse and keyboard (both PS/2) dead. Because it was steadily getting worse and I could no longer get Windows to set up my grahics card, I replaced the graphics card and main board. Mouse and keyboard still hang running Gentoo, but OK running Mandrake and Windows. Now this happens when I play a Windows game with wine. Mandrake's OK because there I use winex. I removed winex from my gentoo boxes after the problems with transgaming led to its withdrawal from portage. I'm sure that my problem must have started then. It also afflicted my other gentoo box, less severely, when playing that game with wine. So yesterday I downloaded winex-cvs from transgaming and built it (with help from the patch and support files still in my portage overlay) and so far the problem has disappeared.
