I posted on this before and got an answer that didn't work (to be fair, the person responding did not think it would work). I know this is not a rare problem and I'm having with Sarge and Sid (both new installs). I've been told there are fixes, but I have not found one. I've searched this list and seen it discussed, but NOT fixed. (If I'm wrong, and used the wrong search terms or something, I'm open to links.)
I have a Logitech wireless mouse, 4 button, with a scroll wheel. It works fine on Windows and Linux -- as long as I use the 2.4 kernel. Once I start using the 2.6 kernel, it does not work. I've tried both the 386 and K7 kernels and it does not make a difference. I tried installing gpm and changing the device in XFree86Config-4 to "/dev/gpmdata", but it doesn't help. I know it receives the data from gpm, since if I stop gpm, the mouse no longer moves. But with gpm, it is still jerky. I've tried to find info on gpm.conf settings, but it wasn't easy. Even in the docs, there are no suggested values for the sampling rate in gpm.conf. I don't know if I should be trying values in the ones or thousands. I also have a problem when I'm using the console, without X. Whenever the mouse moves, I get messages like "2 bytes lost". (I'm sorry I don't have the actual error messages, I had to reboot with a 2.4 kernel to get anything to work.) I've heard about this before and I'm sure there must be a fix, but I'm having trouble finding it. Any help or links is appreciated. Once I've got it working, I'll write it up and post it so all the info will be in one place for anyone searching in the future. Thanks!
