I can't see a driver for it, so quite likely not :(

Um. Don't think so.

Eeek. That sounds like a fairly nasty X server bug. Try running setfont
and see if that helps, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Wow! How on earth did you manage that?? What sort of mouse is it?

What do you mean by "uses 90%"?
On my box at the moment, this pine, mpg123 and a few networky things are
the only things running. /proc/meminfo says:
$ cat /proc/meminfo

That's not a problem. Although almost all my ram is in use, much of it is
being used by the disk cache. Linux will, in general, use most of the
available memory for disk cache. That's (part of) why its so damn fast.
And why you have to shut it down clearly.
X is very big and bloated though.
