>Description:
I didn't notice this problem until upgrading from Xfree86-4.02 to
XFree86-4.03. When I did this, I found the mouse pointer pinned
to the top-most scan line on the monitor--able to move
horizontally but not vertically.
The mouse is a Logitech MouseMan+ WheelMouse initially connected
to PS/2. I had "moused" setup up for "Auto" and "PS/2" and
XF86Config setup for Sysmouse and /dev/sysmouse. This combination
had worked for XFree86-3.3.6 and XFree86-4.02.
However it failed for XFree86-4.03. Investigating what "moused"
reported, I discovered that it thought my mouse was "generic":
/dev/sysmouse sysmouse sysmouse generic
I believe this maybe the problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use above configuration.
>Fix:
Connect Logitech MouseMan+ WheelMouse to a serial port and setup
"moused" to "Auto" and /dev/cuaa1 (or whatever). "moused" now
reports:
/dev/cuaa1 serial intellimouse MouseMan+
Edit XF86Config mouse entries to "intellimouse" and /dev/cuaa1.
This restores full function.
