settrans for a ps/2 mouse

[donny phillips]

hi 

   thanks for looking James


   still a problem though

I am using 

    settrans -c /dev/mouse /hurd/mouse --protocol=ps/2

 x will start up and the fvwm pager appears, the mouse cursor
appears in the middle of the screen and looks fine

however, when I touch the mouse pad or mouse button, the mouse jumps
all over the screen and is not controlable

I used the bios to disable the mouse pad and just use the normal
laptop mouse as well and got the same results

are there any other arguments I can try in the settrans command to
fix this 

  laptop is a new Dell latitude, maybe the hardware is a problem

cheers
Donny
