<sigh> I've been bit by the same thing. The mouse maintainer is working on a solution, but until then you'll need to kludge around it by applying the patch below. Just be _sure_ you actually have a mouse installed, though, or the keyboard will lock solid. Clearly not a long-term solution <g>. I'll bet your 486 uses a UMC chipset, correct? My problem-child here is a Biostar MB-8433UUD (aka MPB4PB2) with AMD-5x86-133 (P75+).
