Hello all, I've been a happy woody user for a couple years now, but, after installing several more recent programs from source, I decided it was time to make the jump to sarge.
Now most things are running quite smoothly for me, but my mouse pointer occasionally goes nuts, flying across the screen and randomly clicking (or worse, drag-dropping) things. I've already inadvertently removed some packages when the wrong character sequence got droped on an xterm running aptitude. My machine is a Dell Inspiron 2100, which has a Synaptics TouchPad (PS/2 compatible) mouse substitute. The bad behavior occurs mostly while draging, and the mouse seems to prefer the general directions up and right, but it will occasionaly fly to the left or downwards. I'm running XFree86-4. I originally configured the mouse as GlidePoint on /dev/psaux, but later switched to play PS/2. The behavior is the same either way. My kernel is a custom build of 2.4.22. Any ideas? Thanks, -- Aaron Bingham [EMAIL PROTECTED]
