Friends tell me the FreeBSD > serial driver is known to be buggy, which seems to me to be quite big a > problem for an operating system? i don't think this is the problem of the serial driver. the closest i can blue-sky to blaming it would be a combination of slow uart (xx450), a slow machine (80386, small memory) and a very high-res mouse that puts out alot of "ticks-per-inch". this might cuase an INTerrupt load that would cause a little jitter, but having said that, I have never seen this problem on any of a dozen FreeBSD/X machines i have setup. has anyone seen an X tool for adjusting the sensitivity of a mouse. xset allows you to multiply the effect, but not decrease it, this might be what this person needs. -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | FreeBSD
