I was just wondering if anyone had a fix or solution to the mouse movement bug issue that is present in a very long thread on this forum, I've read through most of it but other than disabling one cpu is there any fix to the issue that could allow 2 CPU's . I know reading somewhere that someone replaced their SMBios.kext with the netkas one and that it made their system stable, but I'm not entirely sure if that's related. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

I still have the issue as well,
Thought I had a fix by disabling Spread Spectrum in Bios, gave me 1day8hrs uptime (normally I'd get about 8hrs) but as we speak my system is rebooting after the notorious bug(ger) reared it's ugly head again. Haven't tried the netkas SMbios trick yet, think that's next on the list for me.
What have you tried so far apart from cpus=1?

my quick specs:
Msi K9AGM2, AMD 64 x2 6000+, NX8600gt 512mb, 2GB DDR 667 Ram. Zeph 10.5.2 R1, 9.2.2 kernel.

My Hackintosh:
Kalyway 10.5.2 Intel/Amd -- Speedstep, Netkas Smbios, AMD test patch 2.
Mobo: MSI K9AGM2
Chipset: AMD 690v ATISB600 -- SB600ATA kexts
CPU: 3Ghz AMD Athlon 64x2 6000+
Ram: 2gb Rambo DDRii 667
Graphics: Nvidea MSI nx8600GT 512MB -- NvInject 512 (fully supported 100% working)
Audio~External: Focusrite Saffire -- (100% working - ootb)
Ethernet: 8101E -- Realtek R1000 (100% working)
HDD: 320GB WD SataII (150gb Boot Partition)
150gb Lacie Firewire/USB RIP my dear Lacie.

@Voyn1x: Been there man, pretty much everything on the old mouse bug thread, I've tried.

Still stuck with the problem, everything seems to have some kinda effect, longer/shorter uptime, but nothing seems to have fixed it.

How do I go about changing that setting? And exactly what does this setting do?

just type it into the boot prompt. It seems to disable CPU idle. I seem to track this problem down to broken LAPIC implementations (both my boxes have it broken, so no cpu idle in linux). Might be same issue in OSX.

...as above or add it to the com.apple.boot.plist then you don't need to type it in everytime. The only bad side effect is that your cpu will run around 10 degrees hotter than normal
