Kernel 2.1.8 causes my serial mouse pointer to jump erratically both in console mode (using gpm) and in X. The behavior is identical whether the serial driver is compiled as a module, or compiled directly into the kernel. Reverting to 2.1.7 or 2.0.25 fixes the problem. (Nothing but the kernel was changed). I have not taken a look at the changes made in patch-2.1.8 to drivers/char/serial.c but I suspect that there is a problem in there somewhere. My 33.6 modem is able to connect to the net (or you wouldn't be reading this), but throughput seems erratic as well. Anybody else experience this? -Erik
