<font face="tahoma,sans-serif">The issue with ondemand governor is a known kernel bug that affects older processors, like mine. But I can't say that it directly affects mouse operations. I did manager to get to the Xorg log and saw something interesting:</font><div>

Starts to make *me* wonder about a bug...<br>
<br>
I'm currently running (and at the time of my failure):<br>
<br>
Fedora 12 (Constantine)<br>
Kernel Linux 2.6.32.19-163.fc12.i686<br>
GNOME 2.28.2<br>
Evolution 2.28.3 (this is where I was working when my mouse hang occurred and cleared when I force-quit the application -- nothing else open)<br>
<br>
How about you Damon and Jim?<br>

Well, anecdotal but...yesterday playing with lxde and compiz, I
completely lost my mouse clicks for minutes, then they came back.
Perhaps we are seeing a bug. Or they are unrelated.
