Message-ID: <20031011202411.GA1397@glitch.localdomain> Mail-Followup-To: linux-kernel Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.4i Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I have to use the "psmouse_noext=1" option to psmouse.ko, in order to keep the pointer from going stark-raving mad[1] when I use my KVM switch. Unfortunately, this seems to squash the use of the mouse wheel for scrolling (it still works as a 3rd button), which is a feature I'd really like to retain. Is there any way to keep the wheel fully functional when using this option (or otherwise fix the KVM issue)? It's a Belkin SOHO 4-port switch, if that makes a difference. [1] The mouse pointer jumps wildly around the screen at the slightest nudge, while simultaneously doing a cut/paste of every bit of text in sight. The only way to reset things to normal seems to be an unload/reload of the psmouse module.
