The mouse doesn't do anything strange in text mode, and is usually ok in X. It's just that every so often, the middle and right buttons insist on pasting a 'd' in the application (only when moused is running). Mouse movement is always ok. I have a mouse-systems type (3-buttons), so as far as the X server is concerned, /dev/cuaa0 and /dev/sysmouse _should_ be identical. Since I'm running X all the time now, not running moused (and appearantly fixing the problem) isn't a big deal. The mouse does seem to be a tiny bit drunk at times, but those symptoms are of a dirty mouse, and not a wrong protocol. > Failing that, I don't know what to suggest.

Perhaps it is my mouse. If the problem doesn't go away after I get around to cleaning it, I'll go buy a new one Monday and see if that fixes my problem. -- Zach Heilig (zach@blizzard.gaffaneys.com) | ALL unsolicited commercial email Support bacteria -- it's the only | is unwelcome.
