Hello,

Looks like /dev/wsmouse works as well.  In any case, I turned off ps/2 
mouse from the BIOS and have used /dev/wsmouse0 for my USB mouse.  I 
have also detached the the USB mouse, enabled ps/2 mouse in BIOS and 
used /dev/wsmouse0 as ps/2 mouse.  Now, I have turned off PS/2 mouse and 
put /dev/wsmouse instead, and XFree86 correctly detects USB mouse as 
usual.  But that was never a problem.  Problem was in the stability of 
mouse actions.  At the moment, my custom kernel is compiled without ps/2 
mouse support (only usb mouse enabled in kernel).  But, I still have 
random mouse behavior while dragging or resiging windows.  Under 
windows98, neither of these mouse have problem.  Not under Linux also. 
 I am not sure why I'm getting disturbances in mouse.  For example, when 
I open mozilla mail and click on messages, it pops up several windows as 
if I clicked it that many times.  This happens randomly quite often, of 
course.  Or, when I delete a message, it sometimes deletes several 
messages.  Thank you.

Here's my XF86Config file
