Thanks to everyone on teh linux kernel mailing list for your suggestions, it helped me eliminate some things that may be thought to cause this wacky mouse problem that I an several others running SMP are having.
1) it is SMP specific and seems to be 2.2 specific (there are other problems in 2.0 that can cause X to crash this is not the same crash is not = freeze/mouse wacko..different bug)
2) it is happening with version of X 3.3.2.3 or later
3) it is not serial or PS/2 specific
4) it is not hardware or software cursor specific
5) it may have have something to do with shared interupts
6) it seems like X is loosing its mouse thou..
theory (mine suggested by someone thanks) the mouse is on com port X its interrupt is on cpu0, X starts running on cpu1 and its interrupts are on cpu1, then for some reason it looses it mouse, and is trying to find it like where's Waldo(haha). The reason that it comes back sometimes is that eventually the 2 interupts (possiblly) come back to one cpu and they find each other like lost loves (how sweet)... however if they do not come back to the same cpu x stays frozen.
does this sound plausable? if so reply ONLY to the smp mailing list or to me directly..
thanks Joe
