I noticed something similar when I bought this new trackball, which sits
on the PS/2 port.  The cursor zips across the screen fast enough, but
selecting text in an xterm is a whole different story.  It used to be that
when I clicked/dragged to select text the "reverse" selection followed the
cursor perfectly.  Now it lags behind the cursor and updates in bursts.
Weird, eh?  Anyone know why this happens?
