Hello!
I have just installed opensuse 10.2 on an older computer for my son and the mouse is jerky.
/snip/
Here is what I am experiencing, even on a desktop with nothing open if I move the mouse around the screen it will move with a sudden stop and then start moving again. It seems (I have not timed this) to stop about every 2 seconds with about a 0.5 second delay before it starts moving again. This I set the screen resolution to 1024x768 down from 1152x864 to see if that would make a difference but it would not. I have disabled just about everything thing that may run in the background with the exceptions of critical system components.
/snip/ I saw something like this in Windows once. It seems I had a 3-button mouse protocol installed, instead of a 2-button. (5-bit instead of 3-bit, if I remember correctly.) I don't know if there is this kind of option in Linux. Did you have the mouse connected when you did the install?
