Ok, this does not sound at all like an irq conflict, but just to make sure do cat /proc/pci to get the data on S3 card of yours. More specifically, it will tell you hte irq it has, which can not be obtained from cat /proc/interrupts You sure that the mouse is set to irq 4? Try setserial -g /dev/ttyS0 to get the data on mouse, or where it should be. > Since with my old VGA card, the mouse works great, and it works fine > under Windows with the new card, I am at a loss here.

The only thing I could blame it on is bad hardware....but which one, though. But lets see what htose cat's turn out.
