Hi
We have a problem with out mouse here under linux 6.1. It often randomly
jumps around the screen. This happens when some other process is taking
place but without there being any great drain on CPU resources. For
example, the mouse jumps madly around the screen (when trying to move it
to another location) when you are merely untarring a file - with
untarring being the only other thing you are doing.
We are running a 5 button Genius Netmouse Pro on Celerons 433 Mhz
machines with 64 MB Ram and 128 MB swap. I am using XFree86-3.3.6-8 and
the mouse is using interrupt 12 as it should be. Scrolling buttons 4 and
5 are controlled by imwheel-0.9.6-7 which is started in Xsession.
Linux 6.1 has gpm available but I have disabled gpm (in rc.local) just
before starting X as running it together with XFree86 tended to "freeze
up" the mouse on the side of the console. (The Busmouse-HOWTO
documentation advises disabling it when running X). I have a link
"mouse" to psaux in dev, and have the following mouse configuration in
XF86Config:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "NetMousePS/2"
Device "/dev/mouse"
ZAxisMapping 4 5
Buttons 5
# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.
# Protocol "Xqueue"
# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice
# BaudRate 9600
# SampleRate 150
# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)
# Emulate3Buttons
# Emulate3Timeout 50
# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice
# ChordMiddle
EndSection
Can anyone help me to stop the mouse jumping on the screen the moment
anything else is happening? That would be a great improvement. Any help
will be most appreciated
Thanks
Hugo
