Today, my mouse has gone wacky. Previously I had a fine working Gentoo/X11 system on my Dell I8600. A week ago, upgraded my profile, and updated the system, including switching to udev. I had no problem for the last week, so I believe that all worked well.
Today, I did another update ("emerge -uavD world"), and started to muck with user-mode linux. This did necessitate a rebuild of my kernel, and a reboot. When I was done, my pointer is wacky. "Wacky" mean the pointer is largely "stuck" near the bottom left corner of the display. Any attempt to move it generates a great deal of flashing of the pointer. When I start X, the pointer appears dead center of the screen, until I touch the touchpad at which point it jumps to the bottom left area of the screen. I've reviewed what was emerged, and I don't think anything is likely to have caused this problem. I've tried changing my config to not use the synaptics drive, but that had no effect. Any ideas?
