Thanks. Here's why it might not be bios/firmware hacked. This happened when I use chromium, some specific sites even. It felt like a failed attempt to capture the pointer remotely and overflow something maybe. Everything seems to be working ok right now, and I see now sign of any hacking, so I think it is failed attempts to hack. Fedora seems to be chugging along after some major customization, by the way. But some things in Linux are just not there security-wise.
