I would recommend using PS/2 all the time unless you are some strange features.only really applies to touchpads. Then again some mice don't properly support PS/2 and so you would have to use a different driver. Try disabling three buttons (or is it a MS -> AT format problem, got a switch on the bottom of your mouse?). good luck Alex

Mouse on fire
Hello all, For a couple of weeks now I've been trying to configure X on my laptop with my A4 Tech WWW-11 mouse (PS/2). The XFree 3.6 was all right when configred as IMPS/2. However, after switching to XFree 4.0, the mouse behaves funny. It works all right for a couple of seconds, then just jumps erratically all over the screen, pressing buttons at random, and then again a couple of seconds of proper behavior, again and again. Has anyone ever encountered this problem? Is it a laptop problem, or maybe a mouse/X problem? Thanks in advance, Artur Guja

Hello all, For a couple of weeks now I've been trying to configure X on my laptop with my A4 Tech WWW-11 mouse (PS/2). The XFree 3.6 was all right when configred as IMPS/2. However, after switching to XFree 4.0, the mouse behaves funny. It works all right for a couple of seconds, then just jumps erratically all over the screen, pressing buttons at random, and then again a couple of seconds of proper behavior, again and again.
