I have also now remembered that on my laptop running XP Home/Kubuntu dual boot system my mouse pointer would jump to one of the corners every now and then. This would happen when you least expect it. With my wired mouse it would not happen. So this is 2 PC's that have a weird problem.
The jumping is something I have seen before with early optical mice. But it was mostly an optical problem, not a radio one. Wood grain desktops seem to induce it a lot, printed pages too. A blank sheet of white paper seems to be the best for these older mice. I also remember some interrupt problems which occasionally hurt all USB mice, but that was back in the Suse 8.0 days IIRC. As to the router, yes, I think it could be a problem for your wireless mouse, as could your wireless telephone (not cell phone) and anything else that shares that bandwidth. You can try setting the router to a different channel or lie to it and tell it you are in India or Japan or somewhere that has different band allocations. In the end, you wanted a new keyboard anyway... -- ----------JSA--------- There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those that can read binary and those that can't. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
