I have a problem with my mouse having an erratic behavior on the screen. If the mouse pointer is moved to the extreme right of the screen, it will disappear and reappear at different locations and at the same time close my web browser and open other dialog boxes and/or open other applications. After a few moments, the mouse will settle down again unit I move the pointer past the midpoint of the desktop. I have also noticed this behavior in Knoppix, however, on the very same box I did not have this problem with suse 10.0 so I am thinking that newer versions of suse and older hardware have communication problems with peripherals. Is this a documented bug or can I decrease the mouse sensitivity?
500mhz amd processor, 256 meg ram

Decrease I do not know but yast2 > hardware is the mouse description correct or not and you can test the mouse behavior
If it has some to with a bug as my computer is a Intel dual core 2 GB memory it should be worse with mine ,but it works perfectly
IT also works fine on my old computer being AMD 1200 and 251 MB RAM
So my suggestion check the mouse description


all the best

Yes, I think that solved the problem. At first, I thought the mouse selection was wrong (ibm tpps/2 trackpoint), but the mouse is a micro innovations. I finally de-selected the options that were checked and now all seems fine. I will post if the problem crops up again. Thanks.
