HP Omnibook 6100 problems

Hello!

I have couple of problems with my HP Omnibook 6100 running unstable.

1. When dri is enabled in XF86Config-4, and I change VT (from X to console
and then back) X crashes and I need to reboot the machine. When dri is
disabled, I can change VT's just fine. This happens with xfree 4.1, 4.2
and 4.2.1 (branden pre debs).

2. This machine has "internal" ps/2 mouse, but I'd also like to use
"external" ps/2 mouse with scrollwheel. When I define both mouses in the
XF86Config-4, everytime I return from suspend (start using the laptop
again), I can't use the internal mouse (the external mouse is
unplugged).. mouse cursor jumps wildly and causes unwanted button
presses etc.

It seems XFree tries to use imps/2 for the internal mouse,
and this doesn't work (imps/2 is specified for the external mouse).

This is how my XF86Config looks:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "internal mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "PS/2"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "external mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ImPS/2"
        Option          "Buttons"               "5"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection


Also, sometimes X tries to use "wrong mouse" and I need to switch to
console and then back to X (or sometimes kill the X) before the correct
mouse works again.

Any idea how to solve this?

Another question about the built-in ("internal") mouse: How can I use the
third button? It looks like it has scrollbuttons or so..


3. Crashes when returning from suspend. Something like 1/10 times when I
return from suspend the whole system crashes. I'm using Linux 2.4.19 with
aa-patches, but the same happened with 2.4.18. Any ideas?


Thanks for you help!
