Fiddled around a bit and recompiled the kernel with different options and have got the mouse usb support working ok. &nbsp;I'll run it like this for a bit and see if my mouse does funky things..

I no longer receive the problem anymore so I think it's all fixed up.. Thanks for the post, quite a bit of useful information!

Hi i've recently installed Gentoo and everything is up and running pretty well..<br />
<br />
The one problem i'm having is that every now and then my mouse is having a little fit, and when I move it, it just jumps all over the place and clicks in rapid succession, and will continue for a few seconds. &nbsp;Sometimes it will just go away and other times, I have to press something like ALT-TAB or change to a different screen using CTRL-ALT-Fx. &nbsp;The latter seems to work the best.<br />
<br />
I've got a USB Logitech Dual Optical mouse with a PS/2 converter on the end of it, I have a feeling it may be the converter but I can't seem to get the mouse to work just through USB, the light won't even come on.<br />
<br />
Here is a message that seems to come up in dmesg directly after I have the problem:<br />
<br />
psmouse.c: Explorer Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 1 bytes away<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />
