Hi,
I searched the freebsd and XF86 FAQ's but found nothing
corresponding the the problem I'm experiencing. I have a
ps/2 mouse systems mouse that exhibits wierd behavior
under both fvwm and twm.
The cursor can be moved with the mouse, however the cursor
instantly 'homes' back to the lower left corner of the screen
at seemingly random times. The frequency of this is so high
that X is effectively unuseable.
The mouse is at 0x60, IRQ 12 as usual and conflicts with
no other device as best as I can tell. I suspect some
xf86 configuration problem here as the erratic behavior
occurs in fvwm and twm. I tried selecting mouse comm
protocols other than ps/2, which only made things worse.
So at this point I'm stuck. This is a pretty generic
installation so I suspect some other poor soul already
grappled with this problem. Help!
Any and all advice is most welcome.
Thanks,
-john
