G1G1; Q2D16; Joyride, manually updated to 2146. Just now experienced an episode of "jumpiness" with my cursor. What was unusual was that I was using an external USB mouse (and an external USB keyboard) -- my hands were nowhere near the XO touchpad. [By "jumpiness" I mean that for a small movement of the mouse, the cursor would "jump" to someplace further from the starting point than intended. Not sure about this, but some jumps might have been at an angle to the mouse movement.]
I'm now thinking that some of the unexpected cursor behavior that many have noticed - might come not from variances in SENSING the user's input, but rather from variances in INTERPRETING (in software) the sense data that had been received. Or it might even be due to "interference" having corrupted the 'sense data' from how it had actually been reported by the input device. [I have no reason to think that my (optical) mouse suddenly started emitting "position" information differently. Normally, my XO cursor moves smoothly when I move my mouse.] mikus _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
