mouse-pointer acting weird
I am running Debian 2.0 (slink) on a 486DX33 with only 10MB RAM and my
computer is often working hard (having to make use of a lot of virtual
memory). I am using a three-button mouse running the MouseSystems
protocol in Xwindows and I am running gpm with -t msc.
As long as there is not a heavy load on the computer, the mouse works
fine. Also in windows3.11 on my DOS partition, the mouse never acts up.
However, when the load gets large on the computer, the mouse starts
'jumping' a few inches left at a time. Occasionally it will jump a few
inches down also. This only happens if I try moving the mouse.
It happens both with gpm on a virtual console and in X.
Have anyone experienced the same thing or have any clues about why this is
happening ? Anything I can do to help it (software-wise) ?
