Issues:

1. APM+mouse.  I have a PS/2 mouse with the driver compiled as a
module.  Earlier when I suspended the system only a keystroke would be
able to unsuspend it.  However, now a mouse movement also unsuspends
the system.  Any clue how to disable that?  I prefer my systems to
remain suspended until explicitly told to unsuspend, and it's too easy
to brush against the mouse table when walking up and down.

No idea. Never played with APM..


2. KDE screenlock.  For some reason kcheckpass is refusing to accept
my password once the screen gets locked.  Used to work just fine with
2.4.x.  Weird...

Really.. I have KDE3.1.4 and KDE3.2.x with slack9.1/2.4.22 and 2.6.2. Works fine. You could catch the error log for startx and see what it shows.


Do you have any special authentication setup other than normal shadow passwords?


3. CD writing. How the heck DOES one write CDs with 2.6? With 2.4.x it was well-documented if not straightforward -- enable ide-scsi in the kernel boot command line, do a scanbus and you're up and running. With 2.6 apparently the ide-scsi is not needed any more. So what is? What modules need to be installed for writing CDs with cdrecord on an IDE CD-R? What's the device?

Some googling and found this..

Basically upgrade cdrtools to latest of your distro. and use IDE device names.

4. Modules.  Installed the new modutils and enabled module auto-load
in the kernel, but I still have to insert modules manually.

Hmm..which are these, for example? Never faced it..
