With the console, the pointer is just haywire, and also behaves like the left-button is perpetually pressed for drag'n'drop. Setting mouse resolution, acceleration or report rate with the mousedev command does not help. I have a samsung wheel mouse. I suspect a mouse protocol problem. does anyone have tips for setting this right ? Rgrds Rahul Sawarkar
