After upgrading to FreeBSD 5.0, the mouse movement is broken; specifically, it moves only once per second, jumping the entire distance over which it should have glided. It feels like the machine is heavily loaded and very slow, but that's not the case. This happens under XFree86 both with and without moused(8), and in a virtual console using moused(8). Changing the XFree86 mouse config between "auto" and "PS/2" made no difference. I've seen these symptoms on three different machines: an old Winbook laptop (Pentium 233 MHz era) and two machines with a Shuttle AK35GT2 motherboard (VIA KT333 + VIA VT8233A chipset): http://us.shuttle.com/specs.asp?pro_id=261 However, I have installed the exact same configuration on a dozen other machines with no trouble whatsoever. Of course, I have also tried several mice on these machines, with no change. A USB mouse works fine, but I don't have a pile of spare USB mice. :( >How-To-Repeat: It seems that you would need a machine with the "right" chipset... Install FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE and enable moused(8). Note the funky movement. Install XFree86 and note the same funky movement. >Fix: That's a good question. I'll be glad to help a kernel developer (or anyone, really) debug this problem. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
