I have a machine that does some weird stuff with the mouse.
It is really random and it was absolutely unbearably worse when I had a
trackball, but it happens with the regular ps/2 mouse too.
Basically it is like random features, like right clicks or something,
that pop up at strange times. I will be absolutely sure that I
did not and am not clicking on something, when my psychotic FC3 box
decides to right click or something or show something. It is not
like someone is in there with VNC or something, because it is always
like quick flickers and/or mouse jumping around. It doesn't seem
to matter what I am doing - running mozilla, typing something in vi
editor, clicking around the desktop - whatever. Also
sometimes the mouse jumps around faster than a human could move it
around the desktop (KDE although it happened with GNOME on here
too). I haven't seen any compromised data at this point and I
have run chkrootkit and I am reasonably sure that hacking isn't to
blame here, more like an X or mouse problem. Also it is worth
noting that I have had this problem after a clean install with the
current mouse detected and configured at that time. I would sure
like to know what could be corrupted. Does anyone know anything
that I can check for this?
