2.6.0-test11 ps2 mouse giving corrupt data?

[Andrew Walrond]

I have just switched from l2.4 to 2.6 on my thinkpad, and the mouse does 
something wierd when I boot into x (kde)

startx, then wait for everything to load, then move mouse. Mouse goes crazy, 
menus pop up everywhere as though I were pressing buttons, and after about 3 
seconds, it all settles down and works perfectly.

So whats causing this? I 've read about the mouse detection stuff in recent 
2.6 giving incorrect resolutions and stuff, but thats doesn't apply here. Its 
getting a load of bad data.

A buffer_len load of crud is being provided before the real stuff arrives 
perhaps?

PS For 'mouse' read 'Little Red Nipple' which AFAIK is just a ps2 mouse as far 
as linux is concerned. Worked for 2.4 anyway.
