However, there's one thing that really bothers me: I can't get my mouse to behave under X. The symptoms are: LOTS of messages and unpredictable pointer behaviour (pointer moving randomly and apps receiving 'phantom' mouse-clicks). I'm not using moused and the pointer section in my XF86Config looks like this (excluding comments): Section "Pointer" Protocol "PS/2" Device "/dev/psm0" (BTW: I've tried Protocol "Auto" as well). Now, from reading the handbook, the FAQ and this mailing-list, I've learned that most people's mouse-problems disappear by setting one or more device flags (0x04, 0x100 and/or 0x8000, recalling from bio-RAM). Not for me, though :( It's probably not my mouse (a SafeWay 3 button PS/2 model) that causes the trouble, as I've tried another one with the same results AND this one works properly under M$ Windoze. It MAY be my computer (an IBM PC Server 310), considering that IBM hardware tends to be 'non-conformist'. I don't know. Any help would be appreciated.
