I just compiled and installed 2.4.23, I am running X 4.3.0 (driver used nv on nForce2 mobo) with a PS/2 wheel mouse on box running Mandrake 9.1
Mouse cursor is quite jumpy, this behaviour is not see on using the 2.4.21-13mdkenterprise rpm-ised kernel of Mandrake 9.1
Any pointers as to what I am doing wrong here?
TIA

Looks like
it's the same "fix" that went into test10 recently. The PS/2 device initialization code changed somewhat, for more compatibility with oddball devices and KVMs. Part of the change was that the kernel now will not force certain settings unless the user asked it to; previously they would be always set at boot.
To emulate the old behavior try putting "psmouse_rate=100 psmouse_resolution=200" on the kernel commandline (these can be tweaked, but if you do you should probably check out the relevant bits of source; they don't take just any value).
Hope that helps.
