[2.6.16.1] Mouse oddities

[Jan De Luyck <ml_linuxkernel_20060301@kcore.org>]

Hello list,

I've got some weird mouse problems. I've been seeing them since about 2.6.14 
(or 2.6.15, not sure) where my mouse keeps jumping to the lower left corner 
from time to time. I can say it happens about 20-30 times in a day. 

dmesg shows nothing out of the ordinary, the mouse just jumps.

I'm running X.Org  6.9

X Window System Version 6.9.0 (Debian 6.9.0.dfsg.1-5 20060320141153 David 
Nusinow <dnusinow@debian.org>)

Kernel in use is 2.6.16.1 at the moment.

Mouse in question (but this happens with other mice too) is a Dell Optical USB 
mouse:

Anything I can try to find the root of this problem?
