Hi David,
Good to see you back on the list.
I have a fairly new Toshiba that does not show this behavior. But I use Logitech optical mice. If you have a different brand optical you would be able to test if it is the mouse or a setting somewhere in KDE that is causing the problem.
Thanks Ken, It turns out that when installing from the NET-Install to LXDE, the 13.1 installer creates and leaves running the following in /etc/xdg/autostart: 13:29 alchemy:~> l1 /etc/xdg/autostart/junk/ at-spi-dbus-bus.desktop gmixer-trayicon.desktop gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop gnome-keyring-pkcs11.desktop gnome-keyring-secrets.desktop gnome-keyring-ssh.desktop gnome-settings-daemon.desktop gsynaptics-init.desktop ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ hplip-systray.desktop nautilus-autostart.desktop nm-applet.desktop parcellite-startup.desktop polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop print-applet.desktop tracker-miner-fs.desktop tracker-store.desktop user-dirs-update-gtk.desktop xfce4-power-manager.desktop Since my config uses *syndaemon* from xf86-input-synaptics to disable the touchpad, I suspect the leftover *gsynaptics* and *syndaemon* were both fighting over the touchpad causing spurious signal on the mouse bus. Getting rid of all the unwanted autostart apps from install completely cured the problem. SuSEconfig (or similar in the systemctl world) should really take care of disabling all this stuff when there is a change of WM or DM so you do not have all of theses stray and potentially conflicting applications left running. Now don't get me wrong, I agree with the selection of these applications for the LXDE setup, it was really quite good, but the DM has got to be smart enough to turn them back off when not needed or on change of DM. -- David C.
