It's a long-standing problem that (in my experience) has been present since 4.0 release (and maybe before that; the only boxen I've run 3.x and 2.x on have had M$ serial mice). I have a hacked version of the driver code that, through a couple of horrible kludges, almost entirely eliminates the problem for me. It's not a real fix, just a workaround, and currently only kicks in if the mouse is a Synaptics touchpad (which is what I have), but if anyone wants the source they should mail me. ciao gram -- Dr Graham Wheeler E-mail: gram@cequrux.com Director, Research and Development WWW: http://www.cequrux.com CEQURUX Technologies Phone: +27(21)423-6065 Firewalls/VPN Specialists Fax: +27(21)424-3656 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
