Hotplugging PS2 mouse problems
I'm getting sick of waiting to boot up my laptop until I plug in my PS2 mouse. It must be plugged in during boot and remain there.
If I don't plug it in at boot, it won't work.
If I plug it in during boot and then unplug it, my mouse pointer (clit) jumps around all screwy, and if I plug the ps2 mouse back in, the mouse is screwy too.
I'm on an IBM Thinkpad G41 running Gentoo.

Did you have the mouse plugged in when you did the install of Gentoo? I had that same problem with a USB mouse in Ubuntu. I used the mouse during the install and it wouldn't let me use the touchpad after that. The only solution I found was to reinstall without the mouse plugged in and just use the touchpad during installation.

this ^^ would have no effect on a gentoo install.

PS/2 mice are not hotpluggable... what you're seeing is expected behavior.

That's a shame, I really like this mouse. Thanks for the info guys
