Yes. On an 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600M GT] (rev a1) running unstable (which can't currently run X at all due to a segfault in nvidia_glx.so, but this was the case the last time it ran) and 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) running xserver-xorg 1:7.4+4 and xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.1-1 (not brave enough to upgrade it, given how my last upgrade went with the nvidia machine) And every other machine I have access to these days regardless of distribution. I suspect all optical mice suffer from 1 pixel jitters, and being a hardware problem, it has to be worked around in software. -- TimC Er, RFC 882 put the dot in .com. -- unknown -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
