2.10: cursor jumps around.

[jupitermike]

Just started to use Puppy 2.10. Looks good so far. Cannot get mouse to behave, cursor jumps all over the place. Tried switching my Logitech wireless to an old PS2. Still jumps all over. Hard to make adjustments without a mouse. Many thanks from a rank beginner.

Does your computer happen to be a Compaq nc6000?

No, my computer is not a Compaq, it's a no brand put together by myself that has worked fine for three years.

exit X (hit ctrl-alt-backspace)

Now edit the X configuration, type:
mp /etc/X11/xorg.conf

search for such a line

Code: Select all

	Identifier  "Mouse0"
	Driver      "mouse"
	Option	    "Protocol" "IMPS/2" #mouse0protocol

change the one with protocol to

Code: Select all

	
	Option	    "Protocol" "auto" #mouse0protocol

Save, it, press ctrl-a for the menu to save.

Reboot the computer.
Does that work?

I assume that you chose "xorg" when you could choose between xorg and xvesa, when you could set up your graficscard.

You also could run xorgwizard again, to try xvesa (but xorg should be preferred in general, xvesa is just a fallback-solution).

Can you try an older version of Puppy? See if it still happens.
