I have seen the following problem many times over the years with a
number of mice, but never found a fix other than using a different
mouse.

I just bought a Memorex MX4200 PS/2 optical mouse. When attempting to
use X with the new mouse, the pointer jumps all over the place upon the
slightest movement of the mouse.

The relevant entry of XF86config follows:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "MouseSystems"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
EndSection


I am running FreeBSD 4.6.2 with the latest patches and ports, including
X, cvsupped yesterday. I re-ran XFree86 -configure, which lead to the
same XF86config entry as above.

Does anybody here know the fix for this, as I heard it sometimes called,
"supermouse" problem? Or do I just need to buy another mouse?

Thanks,
--Lucky
