As far as I can remember (meaning a couple months maybe ;-)
I have not seen this to an extent that I had really paid any
special attention to it.
Just in case these little details might have any effect on
how the computer sees the mouse events I have PSM flags set
in device.hints to
hint.psm.0.flags="0x6004"
and the secondly my mouse is connected through a KVM switch
which might actually filter or smooth some unexpected or too
sharp movements which might be caused by PS/2 protocol being
dropped out of sync or by inductive errors on the mouse cord.
Obviously I have no idea of the internals of the KVM switch.
My guess is though that since it is just a small and cheap
box it most likely does not provide a lot of "intelligent"
features.
So, I have not been actually bothered by the problem for some
time, but I do not think it should as such be taken as proving
the case one way or the other. Most I can say is that I can
not confirm the problem while using 6.2-STABLE/RELENG_6.
Cheers,
