i have just got xfree86 3.1.2 going on my machine (a pentium with a diamond
stealth64 card) - everything is working but the mouse. its not that it freezes
up, quite the opposite in fact - it is jumping around the screen all the time.
for instance, if i try to move an xterm to a different part of the screen, it
the cursor junps off the place i have selected and reappears in another part
of the screen. the mouse is a microsoft "home" mouse, which i have called a
"microsoft" mouse in my XF86Config file. i have tried another microsoft mouse -
the larger "ergonomically" shaped version (forgotten what its called) - and it
does the same thing in x.

has anybody had the same troubles? thanks in advance
