My 2.6.0 problems so far are:
* I have a KVM that doesn't support mouse and keyboard emulation. When I switch away from Linux and then come back the mouse cursor goes crazy. Fine enough because I use gpm in repeater mode, have X reading /dev/gpmdata and use a keyboard sequence to restart gpm for me; however; under 2.6.0 restarting gpm doesn't help. The mouse cursor still goes crazy and the kernel reports "psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 2 bytes away."
Hm, I think I read something about this kind of thing in a description on www.kernelnewbies.org (IIRC it's called "what to expect from 2.6). It might be a clue.
From http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/davej/misc/post-halloween-2.6.txt:
Input layer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ <snip> - If you use a KVM switcher, and experience problems, booting with the boot time argument 'psmouse_noext' should fix your problems.

I will try this out and see if it works. Thanks for the pointer to Kernel Newbies.
