mouse pointer (aka "cutsor") keeps on moving for no aperent reason
 
hey everybody,
i have this pecolior problem,
i have a old laptop i revived couple of days ago,
i installed mx linux on it,
before mx i had a few different distros on it and i had the same problem with all of them which makes me think it's somtung with the hardware,

anyway the problem is: the mouse pointer well start moving every few minutes to different directions and be hard to control,
i have two input methods on this laptop,
1 is the touchpad, and the other is this tiny joystick in the senter of the keyboard,

i searched online and find this commaned:
xinput set-prop <input device number> "Device Enabled" 0
xinput set-prop <input device number> "Device Enabled" 1
0 to dissable and 1 to enable,

i used it on my laptop and the problem stoped entil i booted the machine again then i had to do the same thing again,

so i'd like to know:
1: how do i make it permenotly dissabled?
2: for some reason this way of solving the problem stoped working and now i have no clue on how to solve it

my machine details are:

I had this problem due to a faulty trackpoint. The solution by ferrari: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...nt-4175674399/.

If this helps you, give ferrari credit.

I had this before apparently I was compromised. :)

Check with another mouse and check your network statistics, or any sockets

Or just remove your mouse and check whether it will auto move, if it does then you know it already;it's someone else moving the mouse for you.

Good luck!

I just answered my own similar problem - change the device name (Saitek.*Panel), and save script to run when you login.
