[gentoo-user] Slow response from mouse

Hi, 

I have installed a new gentoo machine with xorg and KDE. 

Everything works fine, but the mouse has a low responsiveness. The speed of 
the rest of the componets is ok, but the mouse moves with a certaing 
laziness, meaning that it arrives to its destination a few decs of a second 
after it is supposed to arrive and the image of the icon disappears for while 
it is moving.


This is the extra info:

Mouse: 	Ps/2

xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
	Option "Protocol" "auto"
	Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
EndSection

It works the same with this configuration:

Section "InputDevice"
	Option "Protocol" "ps/2"
	Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
EndSection

Most of the time I've seen this behavior is when other programs running in
the background are using too many resources, leaving little for Xorg. Are
you sure this isn't the case? Is this constant slugishness?

Sorry I don't have anything else to offer, 'tis the only thing I can think
of.

No, the system runs perfectly. It is possible that is
some problem with the graphic card. It is an i810. The
following warning appears in my x.log file:

==) I810(0): Write-combining range

Hmm, for most graphics adapters the mouse cursor is drawn by the 
hardware.  The fact that it disappears during movement suggests that the 
cursor is being drawn in software for some reason.

Check the graphics device section in xorg.conf, and make sure you do not 
have SWCursor enabled.  You can also check /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and see 
what that says about your cursor.  For example, I have:

(==) RADEON(0): Silken mouse enabled
(II) RADEON(0): Using hardware cursor (scanline 1052)

Finally, it might be useful to read the man page for the X.org graphics 
driver you are using.

HTH,
-Richard
