 Do you know this is correct?

This has happened to me when I had chosen the wrong mouse protocol ('mm', 
'logitech', etc.) in 'XF86Config'

You may want to try reconfiguring that part of X11. If it acts no 
differently, perhaps you have the wrong interface (note above). If it is 
different, but not correct, try another protocol.

DISCLAIMER - my experience here is Linux, but the problem was in the XF86 
configuration, which should be nearly the same..

That sounds like the wrong 'device' selection, but I don't have any way to 
check.

No clue if that would cuase it. Try asking around on the X mailing
list.

The only time I've had this problem has been a crappy mouse, but given
it works works on console now, I think that can be ruled out. Try
setting the device as /dev/sysmouse. That iirc is the device that
moused kicks stuff out to or something like that.

jumping mouse in X

something I found in XFree86log file:
(**) Option "Protocol" "auto"
(**) Mouse0: Protocol: "auto"
(**) Option "CorePointer"
(**) Mouse0: Core Pointer
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/psm0"
(**) Mouse0: Emulate3Buttons, Emulate3Timeout: 50
(==) Mouse0: Buttons: 3
(II) Keyboard "Keyboard0" handled by legacy driver
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse0" (type: MOUSE)
(II) Mouse0: SetupAuto: hw.iftype is 3, hw.model is 0
(II) Mouse0: SetupAuto: protocol is SysMouse
(WW) fcntl(6, O_ASYNC): Inappropriate ioctl for device

is this causing the trouble?

Hi freebsd-er, I recently upgraded my m/board and finally get x-window to
work again but my mouse is all very jumpy, I seem to lose control over it

K4M266, I can't run x-win when using original FBSD driver, but after
