Mouse cursor get stuck on the left side of the screen
Hi,
Running CentOS 4.4 with KDE 3.5 and I am having a weird problem with the mouse's cursor.
I noticed this problem yesterday. I was on the server running some tests when suddenly the cursor jumped to the left side of the screen and stayed there. No matter in which direction I move the mouse, the cursor only moves up or down. If I move the mouse really slowly I can move the cursor a bit but it always jump back to the left side.
If I log off, the cursor is fine on the log on screen. Log back in, it is fine for a while then it happens again.
During your install did you enable the console mouse handler?
I'm tempted to believe that there is a way to find out what devices the processes running on your system have open, but I'm at a loss at this moment to tell you how.
