I use the same mouse here and don't have any tracking problems when moving it - fast or slow. Running 9.2 here.
ps/2 port? Maybe my hardware is funny, but it happened on two PCs. If I move really fast, the cursor freezes for a moment, it looses data sent from the mouse. For example, I send the ball spinning on its hole, and the cursor just dances about the same spot till the ball slows down. In windows it bangs to the border, fast.
I *do* have a problem sometimes with it making a 'jump' movement when I am trying to zero in on something with the cursor. For example, getting ready to click on a kmail folder or email line and it jumps up one line. Same with a menu choice.
Setting two speeds helps. Acceleration, I think they call it. But my mouse does not moves by "lines", just by pixels. Or do you refer to the wheel? That one jumps, yes. Touchy design. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
