I have a solid, well established Lenny Stable server system. Recently
the mouse is taking unexpected "leaps" around on the screen. By that I
mean it jumps from say the bottom right to the top left or elsewhere. It
is irregular. Has anyone noticed this behavior? I upgraded stable about
2 days after it was declared and have continued to keep it upgraded.
There are no other apps from other distros of Debian. I do have some
roll my owns and a couple of installations using checkinstall, but
nothing involving the mouse or xorg. Any ideas? This mouse has been
working fine for a couple of years, & is a Logictech USB 3-button
w/scroll wheel. Mod. # M-BT85. Optic mouse. This is not a disaster but
is annoying.
Does the mouse work in another computer? Do other mice exhibit the same
symptoms?
Please CC; me as gmail tosses a lot of replies.
Done,

Thanks: Andrei, Lisi, Matthew;
All of the responses were possible candidates, however it seems the real
culprit was far simpler. My wife had swiped my very old, very highly
decorated, very large, very soft, MOUSE PAD... The optical mouse was
trying to work on a plain gray featureless desktop. Back on the pad & no
probs.
Same thing happens to me on a grey mouse pad with dirty black splotches.
