Sorry for being possibly redundant but I think you *must* use sysmouse 
to get rid of
the latency issues.  I was arguing with the KDE developers for a while 
cuz I thought
it was their fault.  I used to erratically get into situations where I 
would type and
a few seconds later my keystrokes would come up.

I was missing interrupts in /var/log/messages I think also.  Anyway 
I've been using
sysmouse for over a year and not had the problem since.

If you aren't using Sysmouse in X... that could be the whole problem.
