Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2003 12:36:38 +0000 User-Agent: KMail/1.5.4 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <200312121236.38692.andrew@walrond.org> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I have just switched from l2.4 to 2.6 on my thinkpad, and the mouse does something wierd when I boot into x (kde) startx, then wait for everything to load, then move mouse. Mouse goes crazy, menus pop up everywhere as though I were pressing buttons, and after about 3 seconds, it all settles down and works perfectly. So whats causing this? I 've read about the mouse detection stuff in recent 2.6 giving incorrect resolutions and stuff, but thats doesn't apply here. Its getting a load of bad data. A buffer_len load of crud is being provided before the real stuff arrives perhaps? Andrew Walrond PS For 'mouse' read 'Little Red Nipple' which AFAIK is just a ps2 mouse as far as linux is concerned. Worked for 2.4 anyway.
