When I use moused and configure X to use /dev/sysmouse with protocol "SysMouse" the mouse behaves very strange. The left button gets pressed whenever i move the mouse. Here is my config: rc.conf: moused_type="auto" (or "intellimouse", same problem with both) moused_enable="YES" moused_port="/dev/psm0" XF86Config: Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "SysMouse" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" I'm using XFree86-4.0.3_3 compiled with "WITH_MATROX_GXX_DRIVER". My windowmanager is fvwm-2.3.32. I have tried to get around this but then I stumbled on another "bug". If I turn off moused and configure X to use /dev/psm0 with protocol "Auto" the mouse works fine (mostly, see below) in X. However, when I am in textmode the keyboard sometimes just stops to function. This happens randomly, and only when in textmode. The console stays in this frozen mode for a random amount of time, usually from 5 seconds to 5 minutes. I can login to the box via the network and do 'vidcontrol -s 11 < /dev/ttyv0' which will switch me back into X, if I then switch back to textmode everything works again. I have NOT pressed Scroll Lock, the text-cursor is still there. When the console gets back to normal the keypresses that I have made don't show up. This _never_ happens when I have moused running, and removing "-m" from allscreens_flags in rc.conf doesn't help either. This happens both when I am running X in the "background" and when X isn't running. My keyboard is a "Logitech Cordless Desktop Pro". Another thing, it happens quite often that I get this kernelmessage: --- /kernel: psmintr: out of sync (0000 != 0008). last message repeated 125 times --- It usually happens directly on boot and continues until I reboot, then I might have the same problem again or the problem might be gone. When I use the mouse in X while these messages show up, with or without moused, the mouse gets extremely sensitive and fly around from corner to corner, clicking buttons randomly, in other words, it gets unusable. Same thing with moused in console, the mousepointer just fly around the screen, copying and pasting randomly. Please CC me when replying.
