I had a request to support mice with all buttons and features they may have and the old mouse driver is useless for this task. According to this we support evdev for devices we have tested. If it is slow or have other problems it looks more like a evdev driver problem. sax2 only sets the relevant parts of the evdev configuration which is the number of buttons and the connection where to find the mouse -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So does this configuration work for you?

In both config files you attached you use the slow fbdev video driver. This could explain why also your mouse cursor gets slow on very high load. Please

i won't know until i get home tonight. try again with a native driver ("nv"). Thanks. keep in mind that i always install nvidia drivers, which switches everything from fbdev or nv to nvidia. even when using nvidia the mouse is slow (under load) unless i switch the driver from "evdev" to "mouse". when using "mouse", the mouse still lags a little during load, but i am able to move it all over the screen, including my second monitor. when using "evdev", during the same amount of load i can barely get the mouse to nudge a few inches. i can still try "nv" when i get home as well if you still want me to. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
