hello -
i am experiencing a strange problem with my mouse using XFree86 version
4.2.0 (compiled using the gentoo ebuild):
the mouse pointer will randomly *jump* up or down half a screen, or
simply *warp* to a different location. additionally mouse clicks (both
button 1, 2 and 3) will occur (not physically on the mouse of course).
the mouse wheel (buttons 4 and 5?) are also affected.
this only happens if i use the mouse, i.e. if i do not touch it the
pointer will just sit there, as it should, and no mouse clicks will be
issued. once i start using the mouse the madness will start.
another interesting detail is that i have tried several mice: a logitech
cordless mouse (from the logitech itouch desktop), a tiny logitech
travel mate optical mouse, and finally a simple logitech ps2 mouse (the
first two are usb-mice, but i had them connected to the ps2 port with
that standard adapter that comes with all mice nowadays). the problem
was there no matter which mouse i had connected, but the standard
logitech mouse behaved comparatively well, i.e. it would still warp or
jump occasionally, but by far not as frequently as the other two.
now, i briefly had red-hat 7.2 installed on this computer and there were
no problems, unfortunatly i have not kept that configuration file. i
have my current config file attached.
has anybody experienced a problem like this before or knows of a
solution? it is maddening if your mouse cursor seemingly lives a life of
its own =)
thanks a lot!
