Hi, first post newbie.

The mouse pointer goes to the top of the screen then jumps all over the screen when you move the mouse.

Suse 10.1 32bit, nvidia gforce 4 mx 440 agp. wireless mouse to ps2 works ok on windows set to auto in yast.

Installed the latest drives from nvidia about two weeks ago and had no trouble until two days ago and have read on the forums that it could be the driver.

So what I am after is if you think that it is the driver were could I find clear instructions on how to repair or uninstall the driver, what I have found uptill now is for the more experienced users and us newbies need the blow by blow type of help.

Pleased with Suse 10.1 and have done it all from reading forums and books so keep up the good work.

Many Thanks 11of10.

check the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. there should be an InputDevice section for your Mouse, post that section please

Hi nadroi.
this might look odd to you, would have took to long to get it onto the post in suse, not that good with the keyboard but is an exact copy.

Section "InputDevice"
Driver "Mouse"
Identifier "Mouse [1]"
Option "Device" " "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Name" "Netmouse (PS/2 VERSION)"
Option "Protocol" "IntelliMouse"
Option "Vendor" "Genius"
EndSection


I am sure the mouse was set to auto in yast control panel and the mouse is a trust 305ks wireless optical.

Thanks for looking 11of10.

what nvidia drivers did you install, video card? or sound card, NIC, etc..

try changing this:
Option "Protocol" "IntelliMouse"
to
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"

youll need to edit this file as root to save the changes. then either restart your computer, or restart X if you know how to, either will work just ones faster.

also, it wouldnt be something simple like you accidently changing mouse sensitivity to maximum for example? im sure not.

let us know if this works.

Hi, nadroj.
Success, did no good trying to edit xorg.conf but did change the mouse to IMPS/2 in yast.
Have only installed software before, and now I have had a problem I realise how inportant the keyboard is,so next job is to learn some more short cuts having to boot in and out of windows to post or find something takes to long.
Hope some more experience will get me past the silly questions.

Thank you for your support 11of10.
