NetBSD 8 on Old ThinkPad - strange mouse issues

[Riccardo Mottola <riccardo.mottola%libero.it@localhost>]

Hi All!


I just upgraded to 8.0 on my "super vintage" IBM ThinkPad 600... my 
oldest x86 laptop with NetBSD.
6.x worked very well on it! I upgraded to 7.x some weeks ago and had 
issues with X11, which I reported here but got no answer. Now I just 
upgraded again to 8.0! Luckily, this time there are many binary 
pacakges for x86 (8.0_2018Q1, Q2 is almost empty?)

I have a couple of issues though, in the following "importance" order:

1) X11 is almost unusuable due to the mouse not moving
2) with a little more heavy usage (I was removign packages, updating 
trees, etc) the tlp0 interface started complaining about timeouts. 
Only a reboot recovers!
tlp0: transmit timeout
tlp0: filter setup and transmit timeout

the last one repeats forever... this did not happen on 6.x and neither 
7.1 for the short time I used it.

3) the PCMCI network card is work only in the uppter slot (I think to 
remember I compiled for 6.x series a custom kernel with an option to 
enable)
4) a hot reboot will usually hang when reaching "fdc0 at isa0 port 
0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2" while a cold start goes through. Maybe it is 
related with 3)

Issue 1) makes the machine unusable though
What happens is very strange: X11 comes up correctly, including 
windowmanager, but moving the mouse pointer appears to move it only 
horizontally on a line! But in fact it is a display issue, I can 
blindly click and move menus, so it works but it appears not, 
something which I have never seen.
This happens both with the internal trackpoint as with an external 
mouse.
Strange thing is that the mouse already starts on the top line, 
instead of centered, on startup!

I see nothing suspicious:

Current version of pixman: 0.34.0
        Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.X.Org

Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server




Ideas?



To the joy and pride of all, a dmesg below... the machine is about old 
as the first copyright of NetBSD :)
