Mouse jumps around with 2.6 kernel

userian · 05-17-2004, 04:38 AM

Ever since i started using the 2.6 kernel ive run into the problem where if i move the mouse while any keys on the keyboard are pressed it starts jumping around and opening things. It usually goes back to normal if i stop moving the mouse and take my hands off the keyboard.

Thanks!

is your mouse usb? When I used my M$ Intellimouse with usb i got the same problem but all the time, not just when pressing keys. It went away when I plugged in the ps/2 adapter.

Yes its a USB Logitech MX500. I was hoping I would not have to use the adapter but if its the only way then ill have to use it

Just incase there are others with the same problem, I upgraded to the 2.6.6 kernel today and I dont have the problem anymore!!

I'm using Fedora Core 2, upgraded the kernel to 2.6 and the mouse jumps around.

When i boot up it works fine UNTIL i change boxes with my KVM, when i return to the fedora box it jumps around constantly clicking, deleting and moving things.

Its a Logitech USB wireless mouse and keyboard, Keyboard works fine all the time, just the mouse.

Its plugged into the KVM with a PS/2 adaptor.

Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.
