So the generated XF86Config isn't nice with your poor mouse... Could you try perl -ne 'print if /"Pointer/ .. /Device/' /etc/X11/XF86Config and tell what's wrong? as for the option, you mean adding `` Option "noblt"' ? The best would be to patch /usr/lib/X11/Cards but that's quite tough (needs a regeneration of XFree86 rpm's (chmouel?)) another solution would be a hack somewhere else in the XFdrake code... i'm looking at it... cu Pixel.
