Hello,
I just upgraded to SuSE 8.2 from 8.0 and I keep experiencing annoying problems with mouse in xfree - it ocassionaly locks up, especially when using the wheel. It is a 3 button PS/2 with wheel using the imps/2 protocol. After switching to text console and back it starts working again... And yes, it did work with no problems in 8.0 ....
Any hints ?
This is very unfortunate. I've spent weeks to improve mouse handling testing all mice I could possibly come across. Since 8.2 I've done some more improvements on the mouse driver. You can check http://xfree86.linuxwiki.org/mouse_2fKnownIssues for a pointer to an improved version of the driver and a debugging version in case you still have problems. Egbert.

Thanks for the pointer, I tried the driver with no improvment shown -
one scroll in OpenOffice kills the mouse right away - the mouse is a
NEOLEC http://www.neolec.de/ Snowman LT. I tried the debug driver and
I'll send you the log right away...
