I have long been annoyed by the problem that Xorg is frozen if I use moused,
unless the mouse is in movement. Just imagine you type something and it only
shows up when you move your mouse. Or if you watch a video ... you basically
have to keep the mouse in movement all the time.
I am/have been using the following CPUTYPEs on different machines:
pentium4 - not affected
pentium-m - affected
core2/nocona - affected
I just had the idea this might be an optimization problem and I rebuild
src/usr.sbin/moused with CPUTYPE=athlon64 and it works.
I've put the following into my make.conf:
# moused bug workaround
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/usr.sbin/moused}
.if defined(CPUTYPE)
.if ${CPUTYPE} == core2
CPUTYPE=athlon64
.elif ${CPUTYPE} == pentium-m
CPUTYPE=pentium3
.endif
.endif
.endif
