| No cursor movement at all if the Zip is plugged in during boot.

| ASUS A7V8X mobo, in case it matters:
| 00:10.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6202 [USB 2.0 controller] (rev 80)
| 00:10.1 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6202 [USB 2.0 controller] (rev 80)
| 00:10.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6202 [USB 2.0 controller] (rev 80)
| 00:10.3 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. USB 2.0 (rev 82)
| 
| Things that make no difference to this problem:  ACPI, PnP, udev versus devfs.
| I'm also using 2.6.4-rc1.  I have not tested for this bug on any 2.6.x prior

Is VIA (still) UHCI for USB 1.1?
Maybe it's a VIA UHCI controller problem.

I suggest taking it up on <linux-usb-devel@lists.sf.net>.
