I have a Compaq Armada Model 7400 and a second model M700 laptop and have exactly the same experience, i.e., it worked well on 3.1 but the IBM style pushpin mouse is frozen to the center of the screen with version 3.2. All units were booted from the CD.

I've tried the "knoppix pci=irqmask=0x0e98" at boot with no improvement noted on either laptop. I haven't tried whether an external USB mouse would work.

regards,

jim...
