Recently my mouse has started doing odd things. It will suddenly jump position, and whatever is under it might be selected/activated when it moves. Usually it is triggered by me moving it or doing a right click action. It usually will jump to the right and up.
Make sure that you have not started "gpm". That can sometimes screw up X.
Is there a log that might have mouse specific data logged in it? I could only think of /var/log/XFree86.0.log, which shows nothing out of the ordinary...
Other than making sure that X is using the right mouse protocol, You might want to try as root, fuser /dev/mouse.
