jumpy scroll mouse

dockpunk · 12-30-2004, 09:22 AM

Ive searched around the forums and found many posts on the same problem but the solutions provided just aren't working for me.
slackware 10
kernel 2.4.26
x11 6.7
blackbox .65
i have a generic scroll mouse which is acting jumpy as all hell, randomly shooting across the screen or jumping away every time i try to click anything. everything was working fine untill i upgraded to x 6.8. ive gone back to 6.7 still have the problem.

my mouse section from xorg.conf:

Code:

    Identifier	"Mouse1"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"   "IMPS/2"
    Option "ZAxisMapping"   "4 5"
    Option "Device"     "/dev/mouse"

I have also tried adding Option "Buttons" "5" as ive seen in a few other posts but that didnt work.

also checked ls -l /dev/mouse and get

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 5 2004-12-03 14:42 /dev/mouse -> psaux

as far as i can tell everything is set up right. i have also tried reconfiguring x and of course no luck with that either. on the plus side it scrolls just fine.
any other ideas on what i might be doing wrong?

I am having the same problem. I have changed the Protocol from IMPS/2 to PS/2 and the jumping stops but also does the scroll.
I have looked all over too. No one seems to know.
