No no no, after checking out the speed of the 2.6, with KDE loading in
quarte the time,how did you ever get the heart to go back?
I suggest you do the same as I did -- check the config .If yours too is
a USB mouse, then with the HID support built in or as a module
the mouse will still use psaux. Also disable support for anything called
APIC in the kernel.
according to NVIDIA 's helpfile this affects performance on the X
server (mine used to hang every 3.5 (approx.,) minutes)
