It is possible that you may have one of them, but I do not remember how to go about determining which ones are broken. Microsoft has some knowledgebase articles on this problem, and if I remember correctly, there is no easy way around the problem. However... you might not have the buggy M$ mouse either, it could be some other problem. I recommend disabling gpm entirely at boot time and rebooting without it running to see if that makes any difference. >(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "NVIDIA Event Handler" (type: >Other)(II) Mouse0: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded Nvidia event handler? That's a new one to me. Perhaps Nvidia's video driver now has a built in mouse driver as well? ;o) >Any hints on what to do to narrow down the cause of the problem? Should >I post this to NVIDIA ML? I would recommend reinstalling XFree86 from the latest rpms available for the OS release you are using, and configure the "nv" driver, or "vesa" driver and try to reproduce the problem. If the problem is not reproduceable, then it may be possible that the nvidia driver is interfering with things, at which point you might want to try Nvidia's web forums in case someone is aware of problems like this caused by their driver. Hope this helps!
