I don't remember when this started because I originally attributed it to a
failing mouse, but I just replaced the mouse and the symptoms remain. The
problem is that scrolling with the wheel is causing strange behavior. This
manifests when I want to scroll back/up-ward; if I scroll down a screen, the
screen just does what it's supposed to. If I reverse direction, various
strange things happen depending on the program I'm in.
Hey Claude,
I've had this problem with various RedHat dirivatives, (Fedora, RHEL,
ConetOS, etc) for years. I just put
psmouse.proto=imps
in /etc/grub.conf, and the problem goes away. Add it to the "kernel"
line, e.g.,
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb
quiet psmouse.proto=imps
(beware of line wrapping)
Hope that helps,
-Paul
