Mouse problem since RedHat6.2, Couldn't solve it !!!!

I have a Logitech mouse connected to the PS/2 port. The pointer goes to the
left top corner of the screen every couple
of seconds and it seems also that it simulate button clicks. I tried a
Microsoft button and the same thing happened.
It's really frustrating as i can't control the mouse and sometimes it open
some windows due to this simulated button clicks.

I tried this on RedHat 6.2, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 and Mandrake 8.1 and couldn't get
the
mouse to work correctly. I have no clue on what to do to fix the problem.
The
mouse work fine with Windows 98, 2000.

An insight on what the problem is and how to solve will be appreciated.

I have the same problem with a plain microsoft mouse, and a Genius
NetMouse. Both mice work properly with Win95 on the PS/2 port and with RH62
when connected to a COM port with an adaptor.

Either the mouse or the X server is changing behaviour based on which
port is in use. Why? Is there a workaround?
