Thank you. Didn't understand the bit about 32kb thing. Do you mean I
write a lot or did the font-size make the bug-report big. More clarity
here would be good .

Thank you, already installed evtest and now waiting for the mouse to
behave as it behaves :P , would try to send the data as and when it
becomes possible. Would you say below is a good idea
$evtest /dev/input/event5 > mouse.txt
Just wondering, because when that happens sometimes the desktop also
freezes or some other things happen. I could go to VT1 (CTRL+TAB+1)and
fire that up from there and let it do it work. Also after firing it
up, when I'm sure the data is captured how do I make it stop, do I do
a CTRL+C or some other keyboard combo so the data is safe and
pristine. A better set of instructions would go a long way in helping
me deliver the data that would be needed to pin-point what is wrong. I
wanna be in a position to be able to generate the data, if desktop
freezes or anything else, save that data, shutdown the system and
restart and still the data is there. Then will send you. Because of
the freakishness of the mouse, I'm not able to trust the GUI and the
system as much as I would like.

Yup.

Lastly, NC is my signature means non-commercial, I don't know why
people think of non-commercial as non-free. I have seen many an
art-work and literature under the non-free license and nobody raises
an eyebrow. But as you said that's an entirely different matter so let
it rest. :)
