Yesterday I spent some time with moused, too, but somehow the
performance on my machine leaves something to be desired.  If
moused is running and the mouse is activated on a screen and I
move the pointer, the screen starts flickering in a very annoying
way.  It looks as if the whole screen is scrolled by one pixel to
the right and immediately reset to its original place.  This only
happens on the console screen the mouse pointer is active on.  If
I switch to a nother screen while moving the mouse, everything is
Ok.

Greetings,
