While running the 'gpm' daemon (0.99/1.0) on my system (ELF,
libgcc-5.1.2) the mouse (mousesystems serial) in X11 (XF86_S3 3.1.1
server) sometimes behaves erratically: If I rotate the mouse-pointer
in circles, every few seconds menu's appear as if buttons were
pressed.
The problem is cured by killing the gpm daemon before starting X (I
didn't try without restarting X). The same gpm did not exhibit this
behaviour under older versions of the kernel.
Can this be correlated with the improved context switching code?

Rob Hooft.
