I was getting fustrated with the effect my KVM was having on my PS/2
mouse, basically after switching to the FreeBSD box I was getting
random mouse movement for a second or two including button clicks
as the kvm "settled".
Windows doesn't have this problem.
I have some hacks here that get me close to a solution but not all
the way there.
This change signifigantly reduces the "jitter" by detecting when
we get out of sync and just dropping data for two seconds (tunable
via sysctl).
I also tried to get the mouse status if there has been no activity
for more than two seconds however this doesn't seem to work. I
still get an initial jitter.
Does anyone have any suggestions how I could ask the mouse "are you
ok" from within the context of the interrupt routine? If I could
do that reliably (check to make sure mouse is sane) then I could
get rid of the jitter entirely.
thank you.
