Are you talking about using a USB mouse with a laptop that has a
touchpad or is this a desktop PC?
My G7 Logitech is USB and works very well both with lappy and desktop in
Ubuntu.I could post X11of my PCs if you wish?
Also wireless phones /microwaves can interfere with that area of
freq.Shut off both and try then.
And if blue tooth disable blue tooth on cell and PDAs to test for
improvement.I know not much to work but with hope it helps. :-)

Your symptoms make it sound like you've got a really long polling
interval. It could be a driver problem. It could be an X11 problem.
If you're running a VM or a remote protocol like VNC, synergy, or
xtox, that could be the problem. Or maybe your X server is thrashing.
A long polling interval would cause it to jump, but only to the
next position, right? What I'm seeing is random directions. It
generally trends in the right direction, but with huge jumps in
random directions superimposed.
I don't know how to diagnose a driver problem, aside from looking at
the dmesg tea leaves.
I just unplugged and replugged the mouse.

If it's a VM or remote protocol problem, you'd notice that it gets
better when you use the local, native host.
I'm not using VM or remote. It's all local.
If it's an X11 problem, it could be that you've got multiple mouse
drivers configured in xorg.conf. The excerpt below is what I have and
you should have something similar. Specifically, you should NOT have
SampleRate or Resolution options configured (unless they really do
make your current mouse work better).
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection
For more info, see the mousedrv(4) man page.
That looks like what I've used in the past. And if my desktop
was running I would check what's there. Currently I'm reduced
to the laptop, which runs Ubuntu 8.10 I think. And it is running
the latest xorg which has a very short xorg.conf file. Short
enough I can include it in its entirety.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Option "UseFBDev" "true"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch"
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
EndSection
As you can see there is no mention of a mouse. And
about half the time the system seems to ignore this
file anyway since I don't always get the ctrl:nocaps
mapping.
