Liyun et al,OK, XORG is a new version of XFfee86. It is almost the same just
it is using XFree86.
well...what I see in /etc/X11 is "xorg.conf" rather than "XFree86.conf".
Yes, please make the change to your xorg.conf file.you may correct it from there - you may not have /dev/ums0 directory,
instead, your /dev/<name of the mouse device directory> is different.
make changes from there, then remember to save the file, reboot the
system if you wish to do so by issuing command reboot
Okay I don't see /dev/ums0. What I see is /dev/input/mice in the
xorg.conf file. When I look at the file system, I see that device and I
also see one called /dev/input/mouse0. Should I try switching to that?
BTW, it's not that my mouse doesn't work at all, it just works a littleYes this is a typical mouse driver issue.
and then it suddenly freaks out and starts jumping all over the screen and
clicking everything, which makes a real mess. If I leave it alone, then
it will work again after a little while. The problem seems consistent
if I set it to either Auto/Generic or PS/2/PS/2. I don't know what other
kind of setting I could choose.
BTW, I think I may have logged in as root with "safe mode" and then ranPlease test to make sure if you can login with a regular user
startx and did NOT have the problem with the mouse. I can test that
again.
