The mouse is moving erratically. Whats wrong?

0

Most likely, you’ve specified the wrong protocol for the mouse. Note that newer Logitech mice do not use the “Logitech” protocol, but instead use “Microsoft” (or “MouseMan”) protocol. —————— From: XFree86 FAQ Subject: Q.C6- New Microsoft serial mouse protocol 2.1A mice don’t work. This should not be a problem with XFree86 3.3.2 and later. For earlier versions running under Linux, the solution is to get gpm-1.13 (or later), run it as “gpm -t pnp -R”, and configure XFree86 for “MouseSystems” Protocol with “/dev/gpmdata” as the device.
