Mouse freakout in Redhat 8
I installed redhat 8 yesterday. The mouse worked fine. I booted today to find the mouse sticks in the top right corner of the screen and when I try and move it the curser jumps all over the place clicking at random.
Any thoughts on how I can correct this?

What did you use to reconfigure it? Have you used redhat-config-mouse
Also have you tried moving the mouse at a terminal windows to see how it responds there?

Maybe this helped when you restarted your computer?
