Re: erratic ps/2 mouse behavior
Sounds like a gpm problem. If you're using XFree4, kill gpm and it should
work ok (Xfree4 does things a bit differently and does not have support
for gpm). If you're not using Xfree4, check your gpm config or try going
around gpm to see if your mouse works without it just fine.
I had this problem and do every time gpm is started while using xfree4. I
have had it in xfree3 in the past, usually after switching mice.
