psaux mouse driver + inland pro optical 100 mouse
Under linux 2.4.1 if I move the mouse slow enough it doesn't register at all in Xwindows. If I unplug the ps2 mouse and plug it back in, it works perfectly, no matter how slowly I move it the movement is registered. It is as if the linux kernel is imposing a threshold on the movement. Under windows it works fine. The problem is in linux. I've tried modifying pc_keyb.c code by sending an F6 byte to set defaults, using the aux_write_ack function in open_aux(), but that doesn't have any effect. Does anyone have a clue what the driver is doing to reduce the quality of the mouse? I'm not sure it is limited to this particular mouse, it is just the one I just bought at Fry's for $10. I'm running an athlon 1 gig, /proc/version is Linux version 2.4.1 (root@dave) (gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)) #17 Fri Jun 15 20:15:45 PDT 2001 Thanks! -Dave - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

2.4 kernel problem
XFree86 X window updates are slower on 2.4 than 2.2, by a significant amount. I've observed this comparing 2.2.18 with 2.4.1 and one of the 2.4.pre kernels. I've seen it with ATI Rage 128, Geforce 1 and GeForce 2 MX. I've seen it on two different computers, both Athlon based. Just any rectangular copies to an X window are slow on 2.4 and much faster under 2.2.18. I'm using DRI and accelerated GLX servers so I get good 3d, but 2d is suffering in a *big* way. Here are some frames/second for a simple program: Using shared memory Kernel frames/second yes 2.4 39 no2.4 30 yes 2.2.18 245 no2.2.18 88 I can't get any response from the XFree86 team. I know I'm not the only one with this trouble, something has been broken in the 2.4.
