Re: PS/2 Mouse Problem!

Hi! (Again)

In /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, the mouse device has been
defined according to the following lines:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier "Configured Mouse"
	Driver	   "mouse"
	Option	   "CorePointer"
	Option	   "Device"     "/dev/psaux"
	Option	   "Protocol"	"ImPS/2"
	Option	   "Emulate3Buttons"	"true"
	Option	   "ZAxisMapping"	"4 5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier "Generic Mouse"
	Driver	   "mouse"
	Option	   "SendCoreEvents"	"true"
	Option	   "Device"    "/dev/input/mice"
	Option	   "Protocol"  "ImPS/2"
	Option	   "Emulate3Buttons"	"true"
	Option	   "ZAxisMapping"	"4 5"
EndSection

As you can see, the mouse protocol that X uses is
ImPS/2. In X environment, mouse works not really fine!
I mean when I move the mouse slowly, it works not bad,
but when I move it fast, it jumps from one side to the
other side of screen, unwanted clicks and undesired
scrolling will be happened :(

I have changed ImPS/2 to PS/2, but no good results
have been got and the mouse behavior becomes really
bad!! Go back to ImPS/2 ; I think that was better!

Please let me know that besides PS/2, ImPS/2,
autoPS/2, which kind of protocol I have to test? Until
now, I have not tested autoPS/2. My mouse is PS/2 with
netscrolling capability. Looking 4 your
recommandations and suggestions.
I suspect you have gpm installed. (Press Ctrl-Alt-F1 and move your mouse around; do you see a white block cursor tracking your movements? If so, then yes, you have gpm installed. Ctrl-F7 should get you back to the X Window System.)
If you do, you'll need to run "gpmconfig" and configure it to repeat the data as "ms", then reconfigure X to pull the data from "/dev/gpmdata".
