mouse crazy


hello world!
using kde sometimes my mouse cursor moves like a real mouse running away from me and clicks without me doing anything. it is a logitech animal and has never ever had problems in the time it was used with windows. it usually works properly in kde, too. i am not sure, but i think it only is disturbed when doing hard and cpu consuming processes in background like emerging a new portage/compiling etc. after actions like this all is like before: ok
but it is not ok, that during this period of time, the mouse does not listen to me :-(
how to change that?
thank you

Maybe change your mouse driver in /etc/X11/(xorg.conf or XF86Config or XF86Config-4) I'm using IMPS/2 for my logitech and it works great. You might also try "ExplorerPS/2".

If it's just when you have high cpu useage give XFCE a try.
