hi ya
just seen this thread...
if you have an ide disk... and yur mouse is going bonkers..
makingit hard to click on stuff or select text...
check your DMA setting on your ide disks
hdparm -iv /dev/hda
- check that dma is turned on
if its off ( dma = 0 ), than run
hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda
restart your mouse in console mode and everything shoud be cool
and for X11.... Alt-F1 and than Alt-F7 to get X11 back
sometimes different mouse acts differently too in the same machine/app..
- like banged up against the side of the screen
( use a different mouse
c ya
