Are you running a fresh current? It happened to me about 2-3 weeks ago -
exactly the same symptoms, but then last Friday I did a 'make world' and
the problem disappeared. I'm running Inspiron 5000, using internal
track-pad (/dev/psm0, ps/2 mouse), no fancy modules settings, just plain
-current - whether this loads random.ko I have no idea ATM.

Actually, I'm not loading Yarrow in the first place. That's why I think this
is weird.
(That and the fact that the last time I tried current, just after the
4.0-RELEASE was
split off, this was already happening.) It only happens on this box and
apparently
nobody else sees this exact problem (the last time I asked about it, back
then,
nobody answered it). I'm going to try it as a serial mouse and see what
happens.

Re: just moved to current, mouse is jerky
I've seen the same thing for over three weeks, but haven't had time to figure out why. I am using devfs, so that is not it. Just typing text is jerky and the system response is slower overall. This probably started happening in the week or week and a half before July 8th.
