Simply put...my mouse has started having a mind of its own in our Redhat Enterprise Workstation 3 (Taroon) Linux box. It wants to focus on the bottom left-hand corner of the screen, and clicks on whatever happens to be there at the time (Languages at login, as an example). When I try to move the cursor up towards my destination, it insists on refocusing down at the bottom left-hand corner of the screen again. And though I press neither the left nor right button, it functions as if I am.
I don't know if any of these are related, but here are a few things which lead up to this: 1. desktop crashed after a user killed a window through remote VNC - I rebooted the machine 2. I have an entry in vncserver to start up "root:1" (conflict?) - when a user remotely connects via VNC, they see a similar desktop but it's NOT the same. I can tell, because windows will pop up in the server that never appear in the VNC desktop. Icons layout is identical, however. 3. The mouse in question is a scroll-wheel optical (Microsoft) and is connected to a KVM switch. It worked perfect fine previous to this.
Any ideas how I can exorcise my mouse? Any corrupted file to examine perhaps?
see /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/XF86Config
This behaviour is usually associated with wrong driver for mouse
