Hmm, I have something similar, but only on one of my boxes so I assumed
it's a weirdness of my USB mouse. The cursor would just jump to the left
but it's not getting stuck or anything  and it happens apparently at
random, I can't trigger it by moving the mouse fast.

That's an Ultra 10 with -current userland and XFree built fom xsrc. My
macppc boxes running -current and X built from the same source don't
have this problem, an Ultra 1 doesn't have it either. The macppc boxes
both have USB mice as well, not exactly the same model but similar
enough, the U1 will be stuck with a Sun mouse until someone comes up
with an SBus USB card ;)

I guess I'll just plug swap mice and see if the problem appears
somewhere else.

have fun
Michael
