I have a genuine Microsoft PS/2 mouse (the old squared-off style) which
does the same thing. What Protocol should I try with it? I ran Xsetup
and chose PS/2. It works fine with SVGAlib but not X (in BL2). I
finally just used another PS/2 mouse. A third one did not work at all
even in SVGAlib. Serial mice have always worked right.
