yep charles I agree, it a suse problem, because like you I have identcal machines, several sets, dells and tyans and suse 9.2 has a mouse problems on every system sometime or another. I have a simple solution. When I can't recover the mouse after about a week of trying everything(most of the time it comes back),I convert the machine to Debian/Gnome and the problem goes away and doesn't come back. I've about 4 more machines to convert.....joe On Thu, 2005-01-13 at 23:39 -0500, Charles McColm wrote:

What is the mouse problem you're having, I missed the earlier thread. I too have a Compaq system, and Armada E500 1GHz notebook and I notice that my cursor jumps every now and then. I chalked it up to the wonders of optical mouse technology.
