It's not. Further review of emerged files shows gcc, qt and glib. I doubt one of them is causing the problem, but they seem the most likely candidates anyway.
Did you update the kernel from a 2.6.10 to a 2.6.11 version?
No. I'm running 2.6.7, and have been for some time.
Otherwise, posting the relevant portions of your kernel config/xorg.conf would be helpful in debugging.
from the kernel .config. CONFIG_INPUT=y CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX=y CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1920 CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=1200 CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
from xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "ButtonNumber" "2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on" Option "Name" "AutoDetection" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" Option ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer"
...
EndSection
All of the above was transcribed, as copy/paste is a bit hard without a functional mouse. I also have variation that uses the synaptics driver instead of the "default ps/2 emulation", but I'll settle for either one working to start with.
