This entry is for the Macheads…

I ran into my first problem with the G5. Yes, I’ll be reporting this through the proper channels to see if it was just me.

Feeling confident today, I installed the latest Wacom tablet driver and the Kensington MouseWorks driver so I could use my Studio Mouse again. There’s something there that the G5 doesn’t like. It was fine for a few hours, and then suddenly I was in Safari and the mouse was jumping all over the place. I would be on one side of the screen, and then the cursor would be on the other side. Impossible to control. I reboot and the problem was still there. I first removed the MouseWorks driver, when that didn’t help I removed the Wacom driver (and unplugged it). To be safe, I reboot into open firmware and reset nvram to reset the mouse drivers (as recommended on the Apple discussion forums). I’m back here now with the yucky Apple keyboard and mouse and it seems to be okay. I want to make sure things are stable before trying alternate input sources again.

Anyone have a clue about this?
