there was no need for the post. as soon as i had the problem i got the
answer by googling which i always do before posting. but the good thing
is that patch worked like a magic.
but i'm having some other problem which is not related to x,
my syslog is flooded with this following messages, after i upgraded to 2.6.9

drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: input irq status -84 received

i even posted this a week back, but didn't get any response
just wondering

I've booted my machine last night with 2.6.9 + con kolivas patches , and
found strange things at usb site also.
Using fc2, my mobo is gigabyte with Intel 875 chipset and sata controller
uses piix sata driver.
usb-stick - usb 1.1
Example : usb-stick plugged in. Seems that everything is ok, /mnt/flash
created , I can mount stick w/o problems.Umount /mnt/flash .. passed ok.
Now: Plug same stick again ... hej....there's no /mnt/flash ...hm... ok...I
can mount it regulary, but 2.6.8-1 works ok with this. Umount / Plug-Off
Now I've plugged-in another usb-stick (2.0).
/var/log/messages says that everything is ok, udev created
devices /udev/sdc1 etc... I cannot mount stick !, replug stick again...****
no respond from usb..it's dead...

Another machine w/o sata controller , kernel 2.6.8-1 works like a charm with
those different usb-sticks and I can plug them in-out thousand times w/o
problem.

this is some kernel output from 2.6.9-ck2-smp (preempt is off) , when
preempt is on it's painfull (ooops).

Here I have to restart since I cannot use USB anymore (it's dead).

You never know, not everyone has discovered google yet.

Nothing like that, but then I don't have compile support for USB
mouse/keyboard, as I don't have such. Could be that the device you have
connected isn't really following the standards (in the linux point of view),
or in the worst case it could be that the usb on the mainboard is breaking down.

fixed ... I was stupid, now everything works like a charm , no problems with
nvidia,usb etc.... I've setted up HZ_100 instead of HZ_1000 , now with
HZ_1000 works like a rocket
