erratic mouse with xfree86 4.1.0?
I'm having trouble with erratic mouse behavior on new machine. I
recently replaced a pc with a machine that has an NVidia GeForce2
MX graphics card. This machine replaces an older pc with an ATI
Rage 128 card. The monitor, mouse and key board are all the same
as before and are connected through a kvm switch. The mouse is a
logitech two button mouse with a scroll wheel (from gateway).
In the previous incarnation, I was running stable with the ati
driver for x11 and had no problems when using the ImPS/2 protocol
for my mouse. Now I've installed testing and used the
nvidia-kernel-src and nvidia-glx-src packages with a 2.4.17
kernel so I can take advantage of the new hardware card and I
find that the mouse is very erratic when I use the ImPS/2
protocol. By erratic, I mean that the screen pointer will
sometimes jump around on the screen and there are apparently
random button presses. If I switch to the PS/2 protocol, this
happens less often, but doesn't go away completely.
Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem?
