Getting in a little late but my AMD64 machine's mouse died so I |
| 19 |
grabbed a VERY cheap $6 Microsoft mouse I had received for free some |
| 20 |
years ago and never used. It works but often jumps to one corner or |
| 21 |
another at odd times. It sits atop one of my Gentoo Linux mouse pads |
| 22 |
and I've noticed that if I turn the mouse pad 45 degrees it happens |
| 23 |
far more often. |

I figured it was just a cheap mouse. It hadn't occurred to me that it |
| 26 |
might be a driver issue... |
