Angry Mouse focus goes haywire


Hi all,
I have a Redhat 7.3 system installed on my celeron 850 / 40 GB hdd /196 Mb RAM / with a PS/2 scroll mouse .My mouse works perfectly for a while but suddenly the mouse focus shifts 1.5 - 2 cms to the left ( meaning that I have to click 2 cm to the left of any button to activate it ) . This problem persists even if I restart my X server . To correct it I have to restart my whole machine ( even after rebooting the problem pops up after a variable amount of time ) . I didnt face this problem when I was using Mandrake 8.2 on this same machine .
Could any of you help me solve this problem ? I would appreciate any suggestion anyone .
Thanks, ('') Help PLEASE !

I experienced the same problem on two different maschines with tridentblade
built-in graphic chipset, and i solved it with this solution:
http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/wesse...ent_mouse.html
I know it is for Suse, but it is apparently, an X-issue so maybe it works in Redhat too.
Several members have been troubled with this before, so there might be other useful tips if perform a search on the issue
