[bedevtalk] Optical mouse is jerky in BeOS

[Magnus Hellman]

Hey all,
I've been meaning to post this on one or another Be list but never got around to it, so I'll post here to kick off the list ;-)

I bought an optical mouse a couple of months ago.  It works fine in Window$ XP, but in BeOS the pointer movement is jerky and really difficult to position accurately.  Is there some solution to this, like some sort of undocumented setting in the Input Server?  Or something else?  Or should I go back to buying a new balled mouse every few months? (they're dirt cheap but it's a pain having to replace them so often -- yes know how to clean them out, but they still deteriorate eventually).

Cheers!
