red hat linux and dell 2161ds mouse troubles

[Shawn Parker]

when using the 2161 with linux the mouse won't sync up and the cursor
is very erratic. red hat support offered the 'psmouse.proto' kernel
boot parameter, but it failed to correct the issue.

dell didn't have an answer or even a guess as to why.

anyone out there experienced this or similar problems using a console
switch? is there something in x i can adjust to resolve it?

it's very annoying.

thanks!
