usb mouse in 2.2.10
Thanks for those that helped with the usb keyboard and 2.2.10. Now that the keyboard is working
on the iMac, I've got one observation and a question.
1) The keyboard response is somewhat odd. If I type "cd /anything" at the prompt, it fairly
regularly does cdcd /anything on the echo. It's hard to pin down because it isn't
completely consistent. I'm guessing an odd debounce problem.. It seems to only happen on
a few characters. The same machine works fine with 2.2.5.
2) The mouse is inoperative in X. The links are... [bob@imac /dev]$ ls -l *mouse*
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 10, 10 Apr 30 10:54 adbmouse lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jun 16 12:08 mouse -> usbmouse crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 10, 6 May 5 1998 sunmouse lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jun 16 11:45 usbmouse -> hidbp-mse-0
The X pointer section..
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "BusMouse"
Device "/dev/mouse"
If I cat /dev/mouse and move it I get moving lines of junk as I would expect. The bus mouse
protocol looks suspicious but it works in 2.2.5 and I haven't found anything to replace it with
yet.

Protocol "BusMouse"
starting with 2.2.10 it should be "IMPS/2"

This is a problem in the USB keyboard driver, where it doesn't handle the `key rollover error' keycode correctly. The iMac keyboard gives this keycode if you press more than 2 keys (other than modifiers) at once.

Use "IMPS/2" (or "imps2" for gpm).

Aha, I am definitely a N-Key rollover person!

Works well but if I pick up a window and move it around quickly a lot I can make the mouse cursor go bye-bye.
