I had that and it was fixed for a while by cleaning the crud out of the mouse, since got an optical one.
Mine is a budget DSE ball/roller 2-button job. Has worked perfectly until quite recently. It has also been cleaned since this issue began, with no luck in fixing it...
Can also be to do with hardware vs software cursors. OPtions HWcursor and SWcursor in /etc/X11/XF86Config
Neither was set, so I set SWCursor to "on", restarted X, but it made no difference (other than losing the hardware cursor shadow!). It is even becoming difficult to write an email if I move the mouse, so it is now getting a lot worse...herumph! :-(

Hi there,
Recently my mouse has started doing odd things. It will suddenly jump position, and whatever is under it might be selected/activated when it moves. Usually it is triggered by me moving it or doing a right click action. It usually will jump to the right and up.
Is there a log that might have mouse specific data logged in it? I could only think of /var/log/XFree86.0.log, which shows nothing out of the ordinary...
Perhaps a device conflict? If so how do I check for a conflict?
Its only when I move it, or use a button. It is also sporadic, but today its getting annoyingly frequent...virus perhaps?
I might reinstall the X-server files, or reinstall Mandrake...
