Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 8.10 x64 (though problem was also present in i386)
Some hours/days/etc my mouse will reset it's position to the center, resetting
every few seconds, so click anywhere is like using a rubber band. It also does
not reset to the same exact position, since I can see it twitching in the
center right now. I have tried liveCDs and they had the same problem,
reinstalling, I even tried starting the computer with no mouse plugged in and
it happen.
The only time it didn't happen is a liveCD of openSUSE, so right now I'm
blaming the switch from Xorg to HAL.
I've never submitted a bug, but I looked at my syslog in /var/log and found
this code constantly repeating:
Jan 3 15:11:54 the-tron kernel: [17450.550265] atkbd.c: Unknown key released
(translated set 2, code 0x81 on isa0060/serio0).
Jan 3 15:11:54 the-tron kernel: [17450.550277] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e001
<keycode>' to make it known.
I don't see the same messages at bug #243707
