I've noticed something with 2.6.28 that didn't happen since quite some time: The mouse cursor in X becomes skippy/jumpy when there's heavy system load (doing a "make -j5" in /usr/src/linux for example). Anyone else seeing this? Cursor was always smooth as silk before.

Anyone else seeing this? Cursor was always smooth as silk before.- swap space/file usage
- heavy storage I/O, on machines with IDE chipset which require CPU intervention (Intel U100, my notebook is a Thinkpad A30)
- heavy USB I/O, as the USB specification doesn't include DMA (remember me, what does Intel sells, again? )

I thought it was probably something related to new X.org libs.
My Mouse is a A4Tech 8 buttons, using evdev too.

To find out how much space is currently reserved on your filesystem, try this several steps:
The total number of blocks in your filesystem is:
Code:# dumpe2fs /dev/$your_partition_device_file | grep 'Block count'
Code:# dumpe2fs /dev/$your_partition_device_file | grep 'Block size'
Code:# dumpe2fs /dev/$your_partition_device_file | grep 'Reserved block count'
Code:# dumpe2fs /dev/$your_partition_device_file | grep 'Reserved blocks uid'
Code:# dumpe2fs /dev/$your_partition_device_file | grep 'Reserved blocks gid'
To change reserved space UID:
Code:# tune2fs -u $new_uid /dev/$your_partition_device_file
Code:# tune2fs -g $new_gid /dev/$your_partition_device_file
Code:# tune2fs -r $new_reserved_block_number /dev/$your_partition_device_file
