With 2.6.13.1 & 2 as I move my mouse around the screen, I get random clicks on things the mouse passes. Seems to happen more often with the first move from idle, but in general, it is just totally random...

With 2.6.9-11.EL and 2.6.12.6 (stock kernel.org) I do NOT get this.

Do you have lines like:

psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 1 bytes away.

in your dmesg?

[mike@porthos proc]$ dmesg | grep -i throwing
[mike@porthos proc]$ dmesg | grep -i psmouse

it would appear not...


oops - I am running 2.6.12.6 now - I guess I should try the offending kernel before I answer that question ;-)

BTW - I also neglected to mention that I routinely lower Hz to 250 in param.h to remove sound-card whine - but I did this with all kernels in question... (it is now a CONFIG option in 2.6.13 which is nice... )

Been using 2.6.13.2 most of the day - and though I have seen fewer random clicks - I am still seeing them...

no dmesg output though... anything else I can check?

Thanks,
