What is the problem?

my XF86Config file looks like so:

Section "Pointer"

Protocol "Microsoft"
Device "/dev/mouse" (cua0 doesn't fix it)

Baud 1200 #er, whatever
ScanRate 150 #ditto
ChordCentre #??

It worked once for a brief minute or so, then I resized my virtual desktop
and was back to square one, is it possible that video card problems are
causing this?

Try without the last three options, let X chose the defaults, which will
probably work.

I had exactly the same problem with a relatively new Microsoft mouse.
Mine was made in Mexico, and has a sort-of ergonomic curvature. My ancient
Dove-bar Microsoft mouse works. There's something wrong with the electronics
design in the newer model.

I ended up getting a 3-button Logitech Mouseman, and it's working very well.

Dave
