    I have had a similar problem with kernel-image-2.6.2-1-686 and
    kernel-image-2.6.3-1-686. In my case, kdm starts X. At this point I can
    switch to a vt and there is ~0 cpu usage. Once I log into KDE, though, the
    mouse is jerky and user cpu usage hovers at ~15%. Top doesn't show any
    processes using the cpu, though. See bug #232128 for more info and lots of
    various log files.

    I haven't stayed in KDE for more than a minute or two, though, as the mouse is
    practically unusable. I am currently using kernel-image-2.6.0-1-686, as it
    works fine for me. I never tried a 2.6.1 kernel.
