FC4 was working great (for months) on my computer, mouse included.

I installed a larger hard drive. Reinstalled FC4 and now the onscreen mouse cursor lags behind the desk mouse movement. Like it is attached with a rubberband.


I've tried 2 different ps/2 mice. Currently an Intellimouse 1.1A.

Reinstalled FC4 a few times. Looked over the BIOS settings.

During install the desk mouse is in perfect sync with the onscreen cursor. However, as soon as the computer boots into the first time bootup screen (where you set up a user, etc.) the mouse cursor seems to be on the end of an elastic cord. It overshoots the places I try to click and makes me want to throw the computer out the window!!


Please help. I don't wanna have to go back to window$! I want Linux back.


Thanks.

The xorg.config file looks ok; (right?)
------------------------------------
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection

On boot up, the BIOS hardware/resource screen display indicates the AGP card does not have a interrupt "NA". Also, while changing the hard drive I selected to reset the ESCD ? area upon reboot. I don't know why I did that.

If your PS/2 mouse lags, try a USB mouse.
--------------------------

The plot changes...

I unplugged my PS/2 mouse. Pluged in a USB mouse.

Ta, DA! No more mouse cursor lag!!


Some sort of IRQ or source code conflict with a PS/2 mouse?
Would be nice to eventually figure out what is wrong for other peoples future benefit. They may not have a USB mouse handy.


Should I feel sad that no one replied to my origional post OR Should I feel happy that I can solve my own problems?


Geeeze,... Someone could at least say "HI"
