I have seen the following problem many times over the years with a
number of mice, but never found a fix other than using a different
mouse.
I just bought a Memorex MX4200 PS/2 optical mouse. When attempting to
use X with the new mouse, the pointer jumps all over the place upon the
slightest movement of the mouse.
The relevant entry of XF86config follows:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "MouseSystems"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
EndSection
I am running FreeBSD 4.6.2 with the latest patches and ports, including
X, cvsupped yesterday. I re-ran XFree86 -configure, which lead to the
same XF86config entry as above.
Does anybody here know the fix for this, as I heard it sometimes called,
"supermouse" problem? Or do I just need to buy another mouse?
Thanks,
--Lucky
