Hi Bruce,

If I disconnect the mouse, the messages stop showing up. And when I plug it in 
again... they start again. The very first time I disconnected it, there was the 
following unusual message, which I didn't see again (not sure whether it's 
related) :

[Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged
kworker/u:O used greatest stack depth: 3576 bytes left

I'll try to install gpm and see if I can get the mouse to work. BTW, the mouse 
works fine under Win7, Debian, Fedora, on the same machine, so I don't think 
the mouse HW itself is faulty.


As for preventing the messages from polluting the console : indeed, setting 
LOGLEVEL to 4 made the messages disappear. But like you said, it's not a good 
idea to get rid of them entirely, that's not what I wanted to do. What I really 
wanted was to redirect them to some log file. Do you happen to know which 
process or daemon is sending them ? some kernel daemon, ksyslogd, or udevd ? 
sorry, I'm not (yet) familiar with all this.

If I know who's sending them, I can try to reconfigure it, to behave nicely and 
dump its messages properly in a log file.

Joao

I don't know the cause, but what happens if you disconnect the mouse?
My initial reaction is a HW problem.

You don't really want to kill the initial messages, but if you set 
LOGLEVEL to 4 (warning) in /etc/sysconfig/rc.site most will probably go 
away after a reboot.
