mouse

[Lars Bungum]

When I boot 2.6.0 the mouse is extremely sensitive, and although I set
the driver to accelerate at the slowest available pace it still feels
too fast.

As nothing is different in the setup of XFree86 itself, the only
difference is wheter I boot 2.4.18 or 2.6.0 I suspect this to be the
reason.  But I don't really know where to start looking, is there some
option I can give to the kernel at boot-time or something?

Thanks,
Lars

Calin,

this certainly seemed to help the acceleration (thanks!), but the
wheel/middle button on the mouse stopped working, too.  Is this a
trade-off or can I get it working again?

i cannot help you on this one.
I read on a mailing list that replacing
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
with
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
in XF86Config helped some people (but i might be wrong)

Calin,

this option was already set for my configuration.  However the middle
button came back when I installed the 2.6.1 kernel instead.
