hello, I recently upgraded from linux 2.4.23 to 2.6.2 and this caused some problems with my mouse in XFree86. I have XFree86 4.3.0 (official slackware 9.1 build) and I use nvidia's binary video driver (version 5336 at the moment). My mouse is a ps/2 logitech mouse with a mouse wheel (s48). After I upgraded to linux 2.6.2, after starting up X, the mouse cursor didn't react to mouse movement for about 2 seconds of moving the mouse. After that, the mouse pointer did move, but the mouse wheel was not working. At that time I had "Protocol" set to "Auto" for my mouse and with kernel 2.4.23 the mouse was detected correctly and the mouse wheel worked. After I manually changed the setting to "ImPS/2", the delay in mouse motion stopped and the wheel works again. i didn't find anything non-standard in my XFree86 logs, but there were some messages in the syslog. The first two messages have disappeared after changing "Auto" to "ImPS/2", the rest still appears whenever X is started. I also get strange mouse behavior once in a while (once every 3 days or so): suddenly the mouse starts moving all by itself - it seems to go to one of the screens corners, but I can't really see where it goes. This motion stops at the moment I press any key. I don't think this could be attributed to dust in the mouse mechanism or anything similar - I believe it is also a bug. Excerpt from /var/log/syslog follows:
