Kensington RF cordless mouse [solved]

[raysr]

I installed the Kensington RF remote on Mandriva 2006 and it has a slow jerky motion. It's hooked up through a USB port. I have a Suse 9.3 and Mandriva dual boot box and the mouse works fine on Suse.

On Mandriva I try to set it up through MCC on USB but it keeps defaulting to "Universal P/S2-USB". Is there a way to improve the tracking of this mouse?

check relevant InputDevice sections of xorg.conf file and see if the drivers/options/protocols are the same.

Doesn't appear to be there. What would I put in to edit?

Doesn't seem to be a fix for the Kensington on Mandriva so I put it on another box with Mepis and it worked fine. Put a MS wireless on Suse and Mandriva through P/S2 and it is working well on both.
