<para>In versions 2.2.5 and earlier, switching away from X to a

<para>With this option, there should be less chance of
synchronization problems between the mouse and the driver.
If, however, you still see the problem, click any mouse
button while holding the mouse still to re-synchronize the

has become a standard feature, PSM_CHECKSYNC option is not
available in these versions.) However, in rare cases the driver
