It's a little harder for me to tell but yes it happens under heavy load. The system hangs for a few seconds and when it comes back everything is really messed up. I'm using a logitch trackman w/wheel . The wheel acts as a third button. Cool if there is enough reports maybe it'll be fixed this time. For my mouse it is always selected as generic ps/2 wheel mouse unless iy's pluged into usb and then it's generic usb wheel mouse. -- -~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~- Brook Humphrey Mobile PC Medic, 420 1st, Cheney, WA 99004, 509-235-9107 http://www.webmedic.net, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Holiness unto the Lord -~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-~`'~-

NO DOUBT. in both beta 3 AND 8.2 I am getting this activity CONSTANTLY. everything works wonderfully until I switch mouse drivers in X. after changing from using either 'ps/2' or 'imps/2' as the driver to 'explorerps/2' my machine begins to lock up hard. my machine is a tbird 1200 on iwill kk266-r. trackball explorer (as imps/2, I can only use it as 5 button, explorerps/2 allows 7! help!) adaptec 2940uw scsi one thing to note, my lockups usually occur during massive hard disk reads on the scsi, but ONLY while explorerps/2 is chosen. to Richard Tango-Lowy and Brook Humphrey: are either of you using mice that have more than 2 buttons and scrollwheel? perhaps this is a bug with mouse driver accepting more than 5 button commands...

It has an ATI Radeon Mobility and the same problem. I also compiled CVS version of XFree to get better support for the graphic chipset but the problem still persists. Greetings, Oliver

It's real annoying but my system won't run for more than a day or two without completely locking up. Usually my mouse continues to work but the GUI doesn't refresh properly. Using the ctrl-alt-f1 will work for a while but after a time the system requires using the power button to restart it. Now I've watched it long enough to know it's not my video card( I've used voodoo3 3000, ati rage 64(multiple), voodoo 4 4000. It's not my motherboard ( Used abit slota athlon, currently using tyan socketa with duron) It's not sound card(used built in, creative labs, and now I'm running a Hercules game fortisimo II). I've used various cdroms and dvd so it is not that. The only thing the same is my logitech mouse and my hard drive. My bet is the mouse drivers are not doing the right thing. I've used two different logitech mice over this time but they are the same more or less and it happens more if I use them as usb. They both have the wheel and seem to exhibit this problem when reading anything and using the wheel to scroll up and down the page. One last thing It gets worse the longer the system is on. I'm guessing memory leak in the wheel mouse drivers. I really don't know though. It would be nice if this was fixed as it's the only thing that really annoys me about mandrake.
