And it just got worse, both in Fedora 7 and Fedora 9.
Sempron 2600, single processor, VIA KM400something+8237 chipset,
760M RAM. Generic PS-2 mouse and keyboard.
I can plug in a USB mouse and use that, and sometimes plugging
the USB mouse in brings the PS2 mouse back, as well.
In your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file what is mouse protocol set to?
No mouse definition in that file whatsoever.

I've seen what I think you are describing when set to infrequently
seen/used setting. FWIW, the one I use most often is...
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Thanks for reminding me where that file is. I found an example of
the mouse definition section on the web, but the problem now is
getting the box back on the web first.
Oh, yeah, checking the box and letting the gui network manager or
whatever it was manage the network was something I mentioned finding
in another thread, and probably my fat fingers while I was dozing at
the keyboard were the culprit.
The out-of-control mouse was just a bad mouse. A little high-tech
wire-wiggling with a multimeter, then 5 cm. clipped off the end of
the wire, re-soldered, and it works fine. Flaking out with Fedora 9
appears to have been just a coincidence, or maybe some timing thing
in nine made it more sensitive there first.
More noise, my apologies.
