[SOLVED] USB Mouse Moves On Its Own?

Postby Esto on Mon Oct 17, 2011 3:40 am

Hey :)

I installed Linux Mint 11 (Katya) and everything works okay but my USB mouse moves on its own a little bit quite often.
I have been searching around for a while but i can't seem to find some solution for this.

Is there anyone who can help my?

Mouse is seeking something to eat, but it is not dangerous .. :lol:

Proper chassis under a mouse helps .. :wink:

Reduce the sensitivity in the Mouse settings, also as oobetimer implies, try putting the mouse on a different surface, plain and smooth is usually the best.

I noticed this problem today on LMDE + Xfce. I was reading some Wikipedia article in Firefox (v. 17.0) when the mouse suddenly started to move a few centimeters downwards. It happened a few times. I've never noticed this before and it apparently isn't a big problem but pretty weird anyway. :D
