| |
Vojtech,
The 2.5 input layer sometimes mishandles my PS/2 mice.
On my Dell Latitude, the external PS/2 mouse works, but the sensitivity is way down compared to the 2.4 PS/2 driver. (As in: I have to move the mouse much further with 2.5 to move the mouse pointer a given distance on the screen.)
On resuming after suspend (apm), the mouse goes bonkers. Even the tiniest mouse movement or key press seems to generate too many and bogus events (it wreaks havoc in my xterm), the PS/2 interrupt count goes up rapidly, and I get "psmouse.c: Lost synchronization, throwing N bytes away." (for N in 1-3).
This is the last major HW-related problem I have with 2.5, and it basically makes it impossible for me to use 2.5 on my laptop.
(Also, it seems the input layer detects most of my mice as "ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse", even though only one of them is a wheel mouse. I don't know if that's a problem.)
