I believe if you run the mouse daemon and use /dev/sysmouse in xorg it will work a lot better.

Which kernel scheduler are you using? I had very similar symptoms on early versions of 7 with the default SCHED_BSD. Switching to SCHED_ULE resulted in a marked improvement.

Jittery PS/2 Mouse in 7.0-RELEASE
I have a PS/2, wired, optical mouse that I have been using flawlessly with Windows and several Linux distributions for years now. I would like to switch to Free BSD, but the mouse becomes very jittery within FreeBSD. I have tried the mouse with both moused and X controlling the mouse, but in both cases the result is the same. The cursor on the screen tracks properly when I move my mouse in a wide arc, but when I move the mouse in small increments the cursor does not follow the mouse at all. This makes it very difficult to click on small targets such as an OK button. Relevant Information: uname -a output: FreeBSD kienjakenobi 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #3: Sun Mar 16 15:45:08 EDT 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL i386 dmesg mouse output: psm0: irq 12 on atkbdc0 psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED] psm0: [ITHREAD] psm0: model IntelliMouse, device ID 3 xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psm0" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection This does not seem to be a problem with X for several reasons. First, I use this version of X.org with Linux with the same config that is shown above without this problem. Second, when I give control of the mouse over to moused, the problem does not change. It is visible even in the console when using moused. I am using a custom kernel, but this problem does not change even when I am using the GENERIC kernel. Based on this information I think I have crossed out most potentional porblem locations, but I hope I missed something. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
