I had no trouble using this mouse with the i386 edition, but when I switched to the AMD64 release the mouse became choppy and slow. It's a USB mouse with a PS/2 adapter, and it only works as PS/2 in either 32-bit or 64-bit builds. Even though it's recognized properly in the terminal, moused can't use it. Anyway, I'm using the same hardware, the same xorg.conf and the same kernel config (adjusted for the change in architecture). Here's the system: Asus K8V Deluxe motherboard Athlon 64 3200+ (OEM) Corsair TwinX LL 1024MB DDR400 (2x512) Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop (the above-mentioned mouse plus the wireless natural keyboard -- these both go through their respective PS/2 ports) Maxtor ATA133 120GB hard drive Pioneer DVDRW Albatron GeForce FX 5700 Ultra3 video card (AGP) And that's all. Trying to load the mouse through a USB connection results in moused claiming that the /dev/ums0 port is busy. moused detects the mouse in PS/2 mode as IntelliMouse Explorer, but will only accept the Auto, PS/2 and SysMouse protocols. Other mice by Microsoft and Logitech work just fine as USB or PS/2. Anyone have any ideas, or any ways I can further test the system to narrow down the problem? I've tried Google and the archive and have not seen anything at all on this, other than the note about it in my review some months back. I checked CVS to see if there were any changes to the moused source, but there didn't appear to be anything significant done since 5.2.1-RELEASE. -- Jem Matzan <valour@thejemreport.com>
