Ukkonen" ----- Posted-Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2007 10:22:29 +0300 (EEST) 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, // jau .--- ..- -.- -.- .- .- .-.-.- ..- -.- -.- --- -. . -. / Jukka A.
