My laptop is running fine with a usb mouse attached, but it is not a SMP system.

If I get a chance I'll slap a usb mouse on one of the smp systems, see what
happens.

2.96.x wouldn't even compile the kernel.
I doubt 2.97 will have much better luck.

Since most recommendations for kernel compilation seem to suggest using 2.91.66
I doubt we will spend much time trying to beat the code in submission.
Especially since other parts of the kernel may not work.
