Doesn't work here: 2.0.3-1  Mouse moves only choppy.
gkacpi didn't cause my mouse to move choppy, neither does
  while true; do cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state; sleep 1; done
but i can reproduce it when i do
  while true; do cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info; sleep 1; done

But i guess it's hardware (and even BIOS) dependent.

Greetings,
Erich
