Oh well it is belkin +logitech imps/2 which works then  Belkin support has recently posted a firmware upgrade supposedly addressing erratic mouse behaviour on SuSE linux. Unfortunately, the linked page does *NOT* offer any file to download.
In any case I hope that Dimitry's patch renders this discussion academic.
*EDIT*
I just saw some posts detailing problems specific to the Logitech mice. For the curious:
In linux I have set up the mouse as | Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "No"
EndSection
|
whereas on the XP box it is set as a PS/2 mouse with the "Assume wheel is present" option. |

the patch definitely fixed it for me. Can't wait for it to become part of the main code base of the kernel.

I just wanted to make one comment on this issue since it seems like it's being fixed with a patch: I was having a problem with the mouse going crazy using the Belkin KVM when I would switch to another machine and back to my Gentoo box (2.6.12-gentoo-r7) and I fixed it by switching to a USB cable from the gentoo box to the KVM, while still using IMPS/2 as the protocol in xorg.conf. Now I still have problems with the mouse not fully working, but the mouse does not go crazy anymore. By not fully working, I mean that it won't always allow me to right-click on items in a window, especially if the window has multiple frames, and I have to switch to another virtual desktop (not console) and back to get that fixed.

Unfortunately, I just flashed the firmware and the Belkin KVM has some bigger problems. It only seems to work on the 4th channel (limited to one machine) and the mouse is having some big problems like before. I may be investing in a new IOGear KVM, as I have heard that they are excellent.

The Patch works brilliantly, it solved all my KVM related problems.

Is there any news as to whether this will be making it into a mainstream kernel and whether it works with the 2.6.12 or 2.6.13 kernel?

As soon as we work out problems it causes with ALPS touchpads. Does anyone here have a notebook with ALPS?

Would this apply cleanly to a different kernel or would there be issues from that? Also, any progress on the touch pads?

| The patch didnt fully succeed for me and I still seem to have a crazy logitech cordless optical mouse problem. I have tried every suggestion so far but none have worked. Im using the gentoo-2.6.12-r10. Would te patch maybe not work on this kernel?? |

I have found that using the OHCI usb drivers instead of the EHCI has actually got the mouse to work perfectly |

has anyone noticed that FireFox now freezes up when you use the scrollwheel?

maybe i'm not optimizing my system correclty. I notice a few things are a bit slow, even after upgrading to 1gb and a sempron 3000+ processor.

Anything I can do to speed up the application loading?

Would it be possible to update the patch to work with a newer kernel since the gentoo-sources-2.6.11 is no longer in portage? I would like to be able to update the kernel to 2.6.14, but I don't want to lose the capabilities that the patch added for use with the kvm.
Thanks

is there any reason why you couldn't apply the KVM path to the latest kernel?

I tried to apply it and it failed at several parts of the patching process. I didn't try building the kernel to see if it worked or not at that point. I figured that if the patch didn't apply successfully, it probably wouldn't work.

Try
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Someone mentioned on a different topic that it fixed the problem they were having with a KVM switch. |

I tried auto and it didn't help at all. Thanks though.

| Hi, one way to solve this is to not use a mouse... I have 2 computers and I control them both with a single keyboard and no kvm (I do it all through software and network) I kind of cheat on the video because I have 4 monitors. If you are using gnome you can map the mouse to the numpad to move it around that way. |

appears the patch has been saved when I upgraded from 2.6.11 to 2.6.16. Eitherway, my mouse is going !@#$ crazy, every few minutes.
