Well, the conflicts I mean are between xorg manual config, hal auto config, gdm, 
and gnome.  The keyboard issues other people are reporting may very well extend 
to some mouse behavior too.  So what I meant was, 'your config which used to 
work fine' may conflict with what the system is trying to do now after recent 
updates.  You have to get that resolved somehow.
