I ask because I have used ULE on two different kernels so far on this box. One was 5.1-release running gnome2, mozilla, xmms. On this the mouse stutters really badly whenever anything is being compiled. However on the 5.1-current kernel this behavior no longer happens and the mouse is fine. I suspect ULE has had a few enhancements between the release and now. Matt.
