Optical Mouse problem

[Cortland Naegelin]

Hi,

	I need some direction. I have a optical mouse that will not configure 
properly in sysinstall or X. It jumps around and randomly opens menus. 
In sysinstall it disappears reappears clkoses dialogs all by itself when 
you move it. I have that same mouse that functions perfectly under 4.4 
and 4.6. In Freebsd 4.7 and 5.0, they work very erratically. The mouse 
is as follows.

		Optical Two button with wheel PS/2 mouse

I have used all the drivers and protocols. MouseSystems Protocol gives 
me the best result which are still very poor.

Detected at boot as
			psm0:  IRQ 12 atkbdc0
			psm0: model 4D+ Mouse, device id 8

			in X using /dev/sysmouse

Has anything changes since 4.6? Can you please point me in the right 
direction.

			thank you Cort naegelin

optical mouse problem

[Zsolt Kúti]

Dear All,

I've got a Samsung PS/2 (SMOP5000WX) mouse that does not work. While
the pointer appears, it hectically wanders around the screen and
suddenly produces false keystroke-like actions.

Applying hint.psm.0.flags="0x0200" makes it a plain PS/2 mouse, that
works fine (no wheel then, of course).

Without that flag, configuration is OK with another PS/2 mouse, wheel
working. The optical mouse is recognized ("4D+ Mouse"). moused.c
contains code that in priciple handles this type, in practice not. I
tried various moused parameters, even serial types (I know, it
against what it is recommended in man) , NORESET as hint, none of them
helped.


What could I try to get it operate normally?

Or better leave it alone and go for a new one?


Thanks!
Zsolt

Yup, a cheap Logitech will be your saviour.
