I still see the same, sporadically, in FC4.  You'll touch the mouse, and
it'll go wild.  Luckily, mine only seems to do it for a moment, not
continuously as it used to with RH9.

I'll have to look out for that, I haven't before.

I'd, long since, come to the conclusion that there's something screwy
with how Linux handles mice.  No amount of changing settings, mice, or
motherboards, made any difference.  The situation is slightly better
with USB mice (it happens far less often, but still does).

There's only one time I'd seen this happen on Windows, and that was with
one mouse on a long extension cord.  Take away that cord, and it worked
fine.  Which made me suspicious of two things:  Power supply from the
port to the device.  Static charges generated from moving the mouse
upsetting the chips inside them.
