Hi folks,

Gentoo amd64
Gnome-light desktop
Browser - SeaMonkey.

Frequently PC hung while scrolling rapidly with mouse wheel on a
webpage or while answering postings on forum. Please advise how to
check its cause and also how to fix the problem

TIA

You could try running the browser from the command line and see what errors it tosses out.

Hi psic,

Tried before. Problem still remained.

Now I'm trying with edited xong.conf as follows;

First:-
Section InputDevice:
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"

browsing for about half hour but finally PC still hung.

Now:-
Section InputDevice:
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Still trying.

Does the scrolling work OK in other applications? I'm not sure what the problem could be, I kind of think it's browser related, not xorg, but here's how my config is, maybe it'll help:

Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Opton "Buttons" "5"

Hi psic,

I recall it is the problem of Xong not the mouse. On Ubuntu 6.0.6 I also ran into the same problem. After on /boot/grub/grub.conf adding "noapic" to the end of the line;

kernel  (hd0,0)/boot/linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/hda2 noapic

Problem gone. I'm now testing it.
