Huh, I really don't know for sure, because lately I have not followed -current
very closely (SMPng stability issues, you know), but I heard from someone that
some not-so-distant snapshot doesn't exhibit this misbehaviour. Could I suggest
that we provide some sysctl to disable entropy harvesting in syscons mouse code
at least until you will solve it properly?

I had mouse jerkiness at the same time as I had the sound glitches. Those 
were explained as a result of SMPNG IRQ latency (IIRC). Could this be the 
same problem?

You say "here again". Was there a time that it went away with kthreads?

/dev/random related mouse jerkiness is again here

2000-10-27 Thread Maxim Sobolev 

Hi,

I wonder if anyone noticed that mouse jerkiness caused by entropy harvesting
routine is here again (both in syscons and X11), although it was expected to be
solved by kthreads, at least on my poor old P133 with PS/2 mouse.
