Try <ctrl><alt><F1>. Don't login or anything, but move your mouse around. Does it exhibit the same problem?
No
If not, it's probably related to Xorg. Try changing the protocol settings in your xorg.conf
Changed the protocol from "IMPS/2" to "Auto" and the problem persists: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "Auto" # Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" EndSection Regards, -- Clodoaldo Pinto Neto
