[Bug 119194] Re: [hardy] ps2 mouse erratic - parity errors - lost synchronization errors

[Thomas]

I posted that I was having these mouse problems. Also that I was having
a problem where mouse and keyboard will stop responding when using
firefox or opera. Freeze is so bad That I have to unplug the computer.
Reinstall did not help.

I thought these were unrelated, at least in my case. It turns out they
may be related. I tried a third mouse. One with a, gasp, ball. While
response feels clunky compared to what I was used to with an optical
mouse the freezes and erratic mouse pointer have gone away. This
includes no more mouse errors in logs.

Is it possible that Ubuntu is having problems with optical mice? If any
of you have a ball type mouse give it a try. Please post if this does or
doesn't stop erratic mouse and errors.
