A KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse) switch is a hardware device that lets you
use one keyboard, video & mouse one 2 to 8 (or more) computers.  Very
neat, especially for server rooms.

Anyway, I had the same problem as you, and changing the protocol from
"auto" to something specific fixed it for me...

What's a KVM switch?  I changed the protocol in my wife's xorg.conf file
and she says it's behaving itself so far.  I'll let you know if it
starts going screwey again...

check the wire (near the mouse, where is going in), a broken wire maybe
is the problem..


I don't think so. I had the same problem with my PS2 logitech mouse.
But I didn't actually find any information to solve this problem. Then
I bought a usb mouse and the problem didn't exist anymore. So I think,
this could be a PS2 problem.

  Seems to be serail mouseso the settings for the protocol are
  (possibly) wrong..

  Feeding Google with"xorg mouse protocol serial" I found (first hit):

  (cite):
  When you choose, keep in mind the following rule of thumb:

   1. "Logitech" protocol is for old serial mouse models from Logitech. Modern 
Logitech mice use either "MouseMan" or "Microsoft" protocol.
   2. Most 2-button serial mice support the "Microsoft" protocol.
   3. 3-button serial mice may work with the "Mousesystems" protocol. If it 
doesn't, it may work instead with the "Microsoft" protocol although the third 
(middle) button won't function. 3-button serial mice may also work with the 
"Mouseman" protocol under which the third button may function as expected.
   4. 3-button serial mice may have a small switch at the bottom of the mouse 
to choose between ``MS'' and ``PC'', or ``2'' and ``3''. ``MS'' or ``2'' 
usually mean the "Microsoft" protocol. ``PC'' or ``3'' will choose the 
"MouseSystems" protocol.
   5. If the serial mouse has a roller or a wheel, it may be compatible with 
the "IntelliMouse" protocol.
   6. If the serial mouse has a roller or a wheel and it doesn't work with the 
"IntelliMouse" protocol, you have to use it as a regular 2- or 3-button serial 
mouse.
