Hmm, long time ago I test this (because that was like this I configure 
my i386 boxe) but it did not work. Does it work now on parisc?

with kde ?

Because with the same software config (gdm + xfce + xfree86-4.1) the 
same problem occurs on my parisc (b180) and not on my i386 (on which I 
also use /dev/psaux as mouse device)?

(sorry (I would be of better help) I never have time to investigate in 
more details this problem. And I do not remember exactly if it was 
always there or if it appears with a new release of xfree86 or with a 
new kernel release? Is some one can refresh my memory?)
