Slow Mouse Pointer Movement in AmiBench

[FlynnTA]

I also noticed this. The mouse is especially bad on PAL/non-accelerated setups. Moving the physical mouse quickly will not move the mouse pointer at all, and in addition it blocks all other keyboard input.

I tested this with the imported WHDload version of "Pool of Darkness". The mouse works fine on the A600GS system (e.g. after pressing F12 for the menu).

You should be able to reproduce it with the game "Movem", too. Wait until the CLI window appears, move the mouse quickly until the mouse pointer freezes and then press space. The cursor will not move. After stopping the mouse the shell starts to react to key presses again.

Thanks for testing.

I did another test with Cecconoid (ADF + Kick 13 ROM), and the game/animations stop if I move the mouse. There is definitely an issue. Maybe just on the A600GS?

Mmh, the slow downs only happen on my A600GS in Full-HD (1920x1080x50 or 1920x1080x60). Moving the mouse in 1280x720 caused no slowdowns/freezes.

Do you believe me that I have slowdowns in Full-HD, or do you need a video as proof?

This happens with the USB mouse is connected directly or via a KVM switch.

Yes, indeed. I am getting slowdowns using a Logitech G502 Hero Gaming mouse.

Everything Most is fine with an old Cherry MC 2000 mouse (no gaming, just 2 buttons and a wheel).

Still, even if I use the normal mouse in AmiBench, the mouse pointer stops after moving the mouse quickly. If I move the mouse slowly, the mouse pointer smoothly goes from left to right edge (or the other way round). If I move the mouse quickly, the mouse pointer moves a bit (~1/3rd of the screen) and then simply stops although I move the mouse further in the same direction. Something is still off.

Sorry, I really cannot say. The dot is so tiny and jumps so quickly that I cannot see it after starting to move the mouse.
