The output from pidin ar | grep devi is;
319512 dev-hirun kbd fd -d/dev/kbd msoft fd -d /dev/ser1
any ideas? this problem makes my machine unusable unfortunately.
I’ve tried;
1: removing all cards except the video card
2: changed to matrox mystique
3: changed to s3 virge dx
4: changed to generic isa vga card
5: disabled motherboard serial port and installed serial card then attached
mouse to this
6: reset the bios defaults
7: changed level triggered interrupts to edge triggered in bios
8: changed mouse to genuine microsoft serial mouse
the problem remains the same regardless of any of the above actions

What kind of machine is it (i.e. Pentium 200 MB, etc)
do you need to know more about it. if so, i can go and dig up the
motherboard and chipset.
There seem to be lots of people having the same issue with serial
mice. It seems the lower the machine speed, the worse the problems
are… I was most curious about the speed of your machine.
I probably don’t need any other info. You’ve tried more than one
mouse, fiddled with the CMOS options, tried a different serial card,
etc.
I know what the symptoms mean, but not why they are happening. I’m
still investigating.

Have you investigated whether this mouse-behavior comes from faulty
detection of the mouse. I had all sorts of mouse problems on my
P200MMX, that disappeared, when i created a
/etc/config/trap/input.name that looked something like this:
kbd fd /dev/kbd mdsoft -3 -i fd -d /dev/ser1
instead of the result i got from pidin ar|grep devi, which was

Yes.

This does not explain why people with PS/2 mice have similar problems,
or why increasing the priority of the mouse driver fixes them in some
cases.
Could you post the output of `inputtrap -vvv query’ . That should
print out the PNP ID of your particular mouse. If that ID is simply added
to the /etc/config/pnpmouse file with the appropriate command line parameters,
then your particular problem would be solved.

My serial mouse also goes crazy on my Pentium 120, so
I switched to PS/2. Seems to have something to do
with CPU utilitzation going to 100% even briefly
when dragging a window with contents shown.
Maybe priorities are not set optimally, and some
process or driver is starving. Seems to only happen
on slow machines.
