Jumpy mouse while HDD is busy in X??
I never had this problem until I moved to FreeBSD 7.0 but now when im in KDE and my hard drive is hammering away while compiling or copying files etc, the mouse just stalls out and jumps around. Its not just the mouse but other programs stall as well when the hdd is very active. Any idea what could cause this problem?

This sounds like a DMA issue, if a drive is in PIO mode the processor has to handle a lot more... are you receiving any errors in your dmesg or system logs?
|

I cant see any errors in there. The only error that I notice is a network card problem that I cant seem to get rid of that has watchdog timeouts. Ive looked this up too and never found a solution.

If you run stock 7.0-RELEASE then you should recompile kernel with SCHED_ULE scheduler which is a lot better then current used.

Are you talking about in place of
Code:
options SCHED_4BSD # 4BSD scheduler |

Yup; that's the spot.
