Mystery Solved: (Admittedly, a low priority problem) For those of you who forgot the original problem: X was freezing whenever the mouse crossed a window boundary. Click and drag was also non-functional. Long ago, when experimenting with ntp and a gps, /dev/gps0 was linked to /dev/mouse. ntp was grabbing all the mouse bytes! I suspect that when a window event happened, there was a context switch, and ntp would move to the front of the run queue. Since it runs at a higher priority, the X server would never get anything! - Robert Sexton
