IBM Thinkpad & SUSE 10.1 trackball problem

I am having a small problem with the IBM trackball. Every view minutes when I am moving the trackball around it goes crazy. Anyone know how to correct this? Thanks.

Please be more specific, what exactly happens? The mouse jumps to a random location or windows change and close.

When I move the trackball around, other tabs open windows minimize. The only way for the mouse to stop doing this is clicking on ESC. However, this will start happening again a few minutes later.

I have the same problem pretty much on my laptop also. I use a synaptics trackpad and sometimes I get windows moving around and going back to the last page and last window. I thought maybe it was a setting for the trackpad but I saw nothing there. I have no idea why it does that. I will be watching this thread to see if an answer comes up. Sorry I cant really help.
