XF86Config for a T23 exhibiting the same problem.
The T23 also has the mouse go crazy when you try and configure it as an IMPS/2
5 button Intellimouse on a PS/2 port, with a docking station.
I might be able to get a port replicator for Red Hat to borrow for a couple of
months, but that would be the longest time I could loan it out. :-(

/var/log/messages from the T23.
Are you plugging the mouse in at runtime, after X is started, or are you plugging it in prior to powering up the machine? XFree86 does not support runtime mouse hotplugging. Any pointer devices that will be used during the X session must be configured int the XFree86 config file, and plugged into the machine physically when the X server is started. Hi. Here is some additional info for you: 1. I installed RHL without a docking station. Later I powered down, and docked the machine, then booted up. 2. To connect the PS/2 mouse, I booted with the external PS/2 mouse connected to the docking station via the PS/2 port(or port replicator, same difference), used 'mouseconfig' to configure the mouse as a Microsoft Intellimouse PS/2. I applied the changes to X as well as gpm. Then, whether I rebooted or not (I tried both) I observed the erratic mouse behavior. 3. I also tried plugging the mouse into the USB port on the docking station, and configuring it as Microsoft Intellimouse USB, and did not observe erratic behavior. 4. I plugged the mouse into the USB port on the ThinkPad itself, reconfigured as Microsoft Intellimouse USB, and did not observe erratic behavior. 5. There is no external PS/2 port on the back of the T30's, so I was not able to test this behavior, although we were able to reproduce it just from the external PS/2 port on the T23's, without the docking station. Thanks. Please upgrade to Fedora Core 2 or later, and if this issue turns out to still be reproduceable, please file a bug report in the X.Org bugzilla located at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component. Once you've filed your bug report to X.Org, if you paste the new bug URL here, Red Hat will continue to track the issue in the centralized X.Org bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future updates. |
