The mouse in general seems jerky, and specifically the input device does not receive events for consecutive wheel movements -- just the first "spin," until the mouse is moved again. obviously the bug is in the new hid-core.c, but I confirmed this by compiling with that part of the ac6 patch removed. I have since been trying to write a patch but I can not fix the problem, so I am reporting it to you. I and another user thought the problem was in hid_input_field, but upon looking I now think not. My mouse is fairly unusable in X, and unfortunately I can not figure out a fix. -- Robert M. Love rml@ufl.edu rml@tech9.net
