I use a Logitech Marble PS/2 (and I'm running moused) with XF86 4 my mouse
configuration is as follows and may be applicable, because I experienced
the mouse "wigging out" without the following setup as described above by
Matt Meola:
- moused:
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
moused_enable="YES"
moused_flags="-3 -F 200 -r high"
- XF86Config (XFree86_4.0.1_3)
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
EndSection
I used to have to specify protocol as auto, but when I
upgraded to 4.0.1_3 from 4.0 I didn't need to specify it
anymore (learned by accident when re-writing config)
htth,
Chris
