Problem with PS/2 mouse driver in XFree86 4.3.0

Sun Aug 10 08:17:03 PDT 2003

Yes, adding hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" to /boot/device.hints fixed the
mouse problem.
While this is somewhat pleasing, it also leaves me with uncertainty.  I
tried tweaking 
basically every CMOS combination I could think of.  Do you suppose this
is an 
incompatability between the apci driver and my motherboard? The behavior
makes
it appear as if something else is fighting over the same resources that
the mouse uses.
This would explain why it can only access the device once a second. 
When BIOS 
initializes, it does not list any other device with an IRQ of 12 (which
I believe is the mouse interface). 
Does anyone have any experience with devices such as mice flaking out
with apci?
Thanks again!
