Description of problem:
I'm seeing very erratic mouse behavior. It appears to work okay if I am just
moving the mouse around and clicking buttons, but if I go to drag a window
around, the mouse jumps around and starts bringing up the background menus and
resizing random windows that I wasn't even clicking on. As some point I
couldn't even do anything but move the mouse around, it appeared that nothing
was responding but scrolling in mozilla (with the page up/page down button)
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
mouse is erratic 80% of the time, especiall

XFree86.log
changed component to XFree86 - I think the erratic mouse behavior must have changed it! Please post your /etc/sysconfig/mouse. The workaround for the moment is almost certainly to disable gpm. disabling gpm does in fact make the problem go away. Created attachment 89294 [details]
/etc/sysconfig/mouse (after disabling gpm)
please let me know if you want me re-enable gpm, then give you my mouse config
file again.
this is on a ThinkPad with the TouchPad/TrackPoint combo mouse.
This sounds to be an exact duplicate of Bug 80309. Please close this bug if you agree. Yeah, looks like the same bug. I was afraid it might be something hardware related, but I guess not! Thanks. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 80309 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |

As some point I couldn't even do anything but move the mouse around, it appeared that nothing was responding but scrolling in mozilla (with the page up/page down button) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: mouse is erratic 80% of the time, especially when dragging the mouse around, but not always just then. Steps to Reproduce: 1. install 2. mouse acts weird. 3. Actual results: erratic mouse behavior Expected results: normal mouse behavior Additional info: the mouse is the IBM ThinkPad trackpoint/touchpad combo. I'll attach the output of lspci, and XF86Config.
