Hi everyone -
I'm having problems using the extended ps/2 procotol (here: imps/2) on an asus board.
_symptoms:_ * Xfree86 4.2.0: using protocol ImPS/2 the curser jumps to the lower left corner when making negative movements (left/down). Button events are happening randomly. gpm is disabled. Protocol PS/2 works fine but wheels are not responding.
* gpm (just for testing purposes): using protocol ImPS/2 the cursor the cursor goes crazy. Protocol PS/2 works fine.
_possible cause:_ It seems that linux kernel is not initializing the imps/2 protocol correctly with that board. Everything worked fine with a DFI K6BV3+, AMD K6-III 400.
_hardware:_ * asus a7a266-E board (ali magik-1 chipset, M1647 north, M1535D+ south) * cpu AMD XP 2000+ * A4tech trackball; two wheels, three buttons
_notes:_ * using an XP1600+ with the same board it is possible to make use of ImPS/2 but with limitations: Right after starting up the X server the mouse curser jumps to the lower left corner when making negative movements. Switching several times from console to X and back _can_ solve the problem (even the mouse wheels are working, wow), restarting the X server multiple times _can_ solve the problem too, but there's no guarantee this would work. Now, using an XP2000+ this trick doesn't work anymore.
* this problem was discussed in linux.debian.user.german, message ID <GfumSC.A.c5E.4V478@murphy> and following.
is there anything I can do to make this trackball work with this board?
Sincerely, Marc
