It makes X pretty unusable. There were some comments to the effect that when you caused a window event (or whatever the proper term is) that you hit non-optimized code. In this case, its almost as if the X server is incapable of handling multiple events at once. Click and drag is largely impossible. I'm running a logitech mouse (3 button) on a Number 9GXE, and things were pretty normal before the upgrade. Its a 16450 based serial card, So I wonder if there were changes in the sio drivers that caused mouse problems. The system is a 486/33 with 32mb, and the video card is PCI. Thanks for any help, Robert Sexton (robert@kudra.com -or- sextonr@squared.com)
