I have had this problem with my mouse and keyboard that I have tried
everything with it and still have problems. The mouse is configured
correctly, as it is a ps/2 microsoft (no wheel) old school mouse and I
have X and the console setup for it. However, many times it acts erratic,
jumps around and acts like I push the buttons. It looks VERY much like a
miss configuration, but I am sure I have set it up right.
The strange thing, however, is the ps/2 keyboard. The keyboard works
great, expect for a couple of points. Randomply it goes crazy and types
single characters for me, or puts everything in caps, or maps the keys to
some wierd set of symbols. The non-random part I can reproduce is if I use
the repeat feature or hold some buttons. Then the problems are not random
but happen on queue. 90% of the time I can "reset" the keyboard to act
normal, but holding down two bottons, like the shift and ctrl, or things
like at for a few seconds. The first linux installed on the machine was
8.0 beta 2 and it has had it even with 8.0 final. It has never had any
other OS on it, but it is a server and I mostly ssh into it anyway.
However, it would be nice to fix the problem. TIA.
