</div>It must be a chipset issue. When I first switched to a 2.6 kernel I<br>
used a PS/2 mouse. Then again, it was a dual-Celeron 466MHz box which<br>
is rather more recent than a 166HMz box.<br>

This raises an interesting question. How much backward compatibility is<br>
removed with each iteration of the kernel?<br>
