I was beginning to wonder about my beer intake when I discovered that I can hold a modifier like shift or control and watch the mouse cursor dance around the screen. Doesn't happen all the time but often enough that if you have a similar problem you won't have any trouble reproducing. It looks as though there's an entity in the input subsystem that normally ignores spurious noise from the mouse. This "noise suppression" seems to be disabled when handling key presses. Some details. The mouse is a basic logitech wheel mouse connected via usb to a dell i8k laptop. To rule out the touchpad/keyboard clitorus, I can disconnect the mouse and the problem stops. So has anybody else seen anything like this or should I be seeking therapy? -g --Signature=_Tue__28_Oct_2003_09_32_37_-0500_AFueFRNX7Ri7IVYp Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/nn4IoJNnikTddkMRAnHnAKCxECltZ6wym0FnX99BpV3pQEOxGACgk08C iHn0CtM3Ro4q+x55xThd4XY= =BKVT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Tue__28_Oct_2003_09_32_37_-0500_AFueFRNX7Ri7IVYp--
