Hmmm... Any specific reason to do that? It seems like a big step

What mouse setting are you using in X? What kernel? Is gpm running? On
what device?

You're using XFree 3.3.something out of 2.2r6, right? I'm not sure that
worked on your 'control' video card at all. But most importantly, you'll
have a hard time finding someone to help debug XFree 3 :)
May I suggest you dist-upgrade to woody, install XFree 4.1, and move on
from there?
Cheers
