[9fans] My mouse did it again

["Sascha Retzki" <sretzki@gmx.de>]

Hi folks,


yesterday, my mouse did it again.. .

The effect is not reproduceable, yet it of course happens if you move the mouse a lot (which is, kind of ironically, when you are really working :P). Without any noticeable reason, the mouse starts to jump from one border to the other when you just try to move it, just like the resolution is 65525 ;)

This just happens with one axis at a time, so either X or Y, but I have seen both (yesterday was X-day, for example, which helped because I could at least point at a win in acme...)

Things to be noted: The mouse is an USB-mouse, connected via usb2ps2-adapter. I tried /bin/usb/ but I don't like to waste 90% for my mouse, so this is not an option. The system is kind-of up-to-date, maybe some weeks ago - I will really know how old it is when I come home and look. 
I also tweak the speed of the mouse, I *think* accelerated, res 3, and I have set the mouse to be 'ps2intellimouse' so that I can use the wheel (in case that changes things). I will provide the missing information when I come home, in case they are interesting.

Maybe they are not. Has anybody seen this, too? In the last couple of weeks? Anybody got an idea what to do? How to debug that? Anybody can reproduce that (waiting for bugs to appear is so ....)? First update and pray, or first of tweak /dev/mousectl?


Mfg, Sascha
