That rings a bell... A while ago, there were "problems" with the NavPoint
because Linux set it up the wrong way. Maybe this could help? Try adding
this:
find /sys/class/input -name mode -exec "echo mouse > {}" \;
... to a startup script. Before adding this, my terminal was flooded by
input, and I could hardly ever stop it. Putting it into mouse mode seems to
help.
Let me know!
