Possibly, but the FAQ said newer kernels had workarounds against
problems with VIA?
I'll try to see if it works on my other box, celeron based.
But I've got to take down from my wardrobe first and put a hard disk in
it. ;-)

Well, something is obviously wrong about the mouse, judging from its
inability to operate even with ps/2 under the conditions I mentioned in
my original posting.

You mean the 2.4 host controller?
Well, as I tried to explain that it failed also under 2.4.22.

I can imagine. :-)
First, I've no idea of the cause of the problem and just trying
diffrent versions of the kernel seems frustrating, because I wouldn't
even know what I'd be doing and what to look for. I wish I knew which
part changing caused things to stop working around some point and patch
it in a recent kernel.
Second, even if I found an older version of the kernel, which solved
things, I can't stick to it for ever - what if an upgrade were to be 
necessary at some point?

I'd appreciate very much someone making a statement about the invalid ID
mapping that I was told about - the usb ID list says my 04b4 is "Cypress
Semiconductor Corp." which seems obviously wrong. Could my device be
just introducing itself wrong?

Thank you,
