Posted: Thu Oct 03, 2002 3:52 am Post subject: Mouse jerking when loading pages in Mozilla |
|
|
Not sure if this would be Desktop Environment related, but here goes.
When i load pages in mozilla my mose jerks, does not update is self as fast as it should. Is this a Mozilla problem, USB problem, or am i just crazy ? heh Wondering if anybody else gets this. Like if i were to press the back button in mozilla right now, and then move the mouse while it loads, it will jerk and not be nice a smooth.
How many of you use USB and have this, how many of you use ps/2 and have this?
SHould i see any differents useing USB or ps/2 with a Logitech Optical mouse (ifeel it has too but that is a windows thing) |

I dont have this problem. try using hdparm to tweak your harddrive. Like for example hdparm -t /dev/hda will bench mark it, and then you can apply stuff like hdparm -d1 -c1 -X69 /dev/hdx. it sounds like you need to do some tweaking. Also do you have preemp and low lantancy enabled in your kernel?
reply with your hdparm -t /dev/hdx scores. |

here you go !
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 6.04 seconds = 10.59 MB/sec
after using your command up there
thebox kappax # hdparm -t /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 7.38 seconds = 8.67 MB/sec |

Best to use mouse0 instead of mice, as I don't think the latter supports special ways of resetting the mouse, such as for enabling all of the buttons or the scrollwheel for IntelliMouse and the like. I could be wrong, though. |
