Is your system completely up to date? There was an update that came through a couple of weeks ago, I think it was, that addressed this problem. --Dale Yes it is up to date. I found out some more information about this problem as follows: Originally Posted by *safulop* [image: View Post]<http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1334516#post1334516> After looking around a number of forums I found out that there is a piece of pointer/touchpad hardware commonly found in laptops by ALSA. Because of certain hardware code coming out of it, it is not too compatible with Fedora thus far. This is known about, and there are plans to have it fixed for kernel subversion 33. We are now working with subversion 31. I have found that sticking to the touchpad and its buttons renders the behavior pretty OK. Start playing with the pointer and all hell breaks loose. -Sean "S.

I then switched to a USB mouse and don't seem to be having any problems with the mouse. So it looks like (for me) it is only when I use the touch pad or pointer, but the USB mouse is okay. Thanks, I look forward to the fix with kernel subversion 33. Mike _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
