XFree 4.0.2 and mouse on ibm X20
I am running testing and encountered a stange thing with the mouse. It just
skips around the screen whenever I touch the trackpoint on my Ibm X20 laptop.
Even though I don't touch the mouse buttons, menus pop up as if I had. I've
tried lots of different settings, but it still won't work.
In the end I tried XFree86 3.3.6 from stable instead. No problems what so
ever. But I would really like to use XFree 4. Any suggestions? Is this a
bug?
>From the 4.0.3 changelog;
-A problem with the ThinkingMousePS/2 protocol is fixed in the mouse
driver.
I dunno if this is it, but nevertheless I am using PS/2 protocol which is
working in 3.3.6. Also a friend of mine has the ibm T21 and is also using
PS/2 (strangely enough it is working under 4.0.2 for him).
(linux 2.4.3)
