My guess is that your sound card and the mouse are sharing an IRQ. Please give me the output of: cat /proc/interrupts Please try 'mpg321' or 'zinf' or another media player to see if that causes the same problem. Please try a USB mouse. Please see if there is a BIOS upgrade availible for your motherboard. Created attachment 34252 [details]
cat /proc/interrupts
I tried Kplayer and had the same problem. The mouse moved around and opened a couple terminal windows on its own when I began playing the third song. I checked for a bios update and I am using the most recent bios version (1008). I have also upgraded to the most recent gentoo-dev-sources (2.6.7-r6) and updated my XMMS (1.2.10-r5) and the problem still remains. I tried using my mouse as USB (it's native USB, I just use an adapter that came with it for PS/2) and didn't have a problem. I would leave it as USB except that for the life of me I can't get the scroll wheel working in that mode. yeah, it sounds like an IRQ conflict... Myt advice is to use the USB mouse or edit your BIOS settings to change IRQ assignments or move the sound card to a different PCI slot. As for getting the mouse wheel to work... you should be able to get some help there in the forums... but here's my mouse section from /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or /etc/X11/XF86Config if you use xfree): Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection This should work for almost all 3-button wheel mice on USB. Okies, thanks for the help. I had that config in my XF86Config-4 for the mouse. After a bit of research I found that I needed to enable OHCI HCD support in my kernel to get the scroll wheel to work with USB. As for the PS/2 problem it seems like nVidia must have some special workaround for that in their Windoze drivers since I never encountered it using this setup in Windoze XP. hmm... aother guess might be that you have 'Plug And Play OS' set to Yes in bios... that should be set to No so your bios handles the PnP. |
