Hallo Steef,
Bij het zoeken naar mijn probleem : Linux Sarge, Frozen mouse kwam
ik jouw vraag /antwoord tegen.
Ik ontmoet momenteel na een Debian sarge installatie hetzelfde
probleem. Wat mij bevreemd is dat ik niet ergens een afdoende
oplossing of antwoord op het probleem vind. Trial and error is niet
mijn favoriete bezigheid omdat ik graag wil begrijpen hoe zo n fout
ontstaat. Vandaar mijn vraag aan jou "Is het probleem intussen door
jou opgelost , waar zat /zit het probleem In de kernel, XFree86 of
elders?
Met dank voor de te nemen moeite

Evert,
This is an English list.
Translation:
In researching my problem: Linux Sarge, frozen mouse, I encountered
your query/answer.
At the moment I have the same problem after a Debian Sarge installation.
What seems strange is that I cannot find a good answer to the problem.
Trial and error are not my favorite occupation because I like to
understand where the error originates.
Hence my question: Has the problem been solved by you, where was/is
the problem, in the kernel, X, or elsewhere.

to evert and hugo
first: i apologize for my late answer. i have been somewhat busy.
thanx *hugo* for your translation. your name suggested already some
knowledge of my native tongue. if necessary: i'll answer evert offline
in Dutch if he asks me to. S.
to *evert*:
i still do not understand [completely] the cause of this problem. just
like you i like *to understand* what i am doing. i came to the
conclusion that it a could be 'hardware-problem', allthough i do not
have conclusive evidence for this.
in this case i was forced, some time ago, to work by trial and error,
out of a *ceteris paribus* situation. my conclusions: it is not X. when
i changed my sarge-kernel from 2.4.x to 2.6.x the problem disappeared
immediately. i came on base of circumstantial evidence tot my conclusion
that this nasty behavior of my (ImPS)-mouse is a hardware-problem
because there were only very few complaints about a frozen mouse. the
only other case i remember is a frozen mouse on a machine of a danish
girl(?).
a couple of days ago i installed sarge (just to go up to sid; for fun)
on another hd with the standard 2.4.x kernel on the same machine. and
guess: the same problem!!! when i got rid of the standard kernel, and
installed a 2.4.x kernel for an amd-athlon processor (k7, standard too),
all problems were gone. i could reboot normally. (if i can spare some
time i gonna build my own kernel to see if that kernel works, whether not).
well: i hope this little story is of *some* help.
steef
so i guess it could be rewarding to sum up the hardware of our machines
and see if their is a possibly identical critical point.
