Re: Mouse problem in XWindows -Reply

[AMIT KUCHERIA <AK-IBM@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Another problem i regularly face is when switching from console mode
to X mode using Ctrl-Alt-F7.
If i move my mouse quickly after switching, the X server crashes with
the mesg -  device or resource busy...

Probably the mouse server (i think there is one) is not able to switch
quickly enuff.

ciao,
amit

Hye,

I faced the same problem when I used a genius ps2  mouse . i don't the
reason
for this problem.
The mouse uses gpm mouse services on the console , which seem to be
working
properly.
However gpm services have a tendency to create problems with the
xserver
running so first of all shut down gpm services . (u can disbale them from
auto starting by editing the startup system services using red hat setup
utility)
This should considerably reduce the problem , however to get the right
feel of
the mouse u will have to tweak a little more .
Edit the xf86config file 
U will find a whole section on the mouse device here u can change
settings like
the acceleration and other parameters of the mouse . Play with these
settings
to get the perfect feel 
Hope this works
