No. The mouse driver can absolutely not ever cause video corruption. Mouse drivers read the mouse hardware, and provide information to the X server on which buttons are pressed/released, and what direction of motion in the x and y axes, etc. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the video display. The video driver is what controls the video display. If you ever see mouse pointer droppings, or any form of corruption of the display with regards to the mouse, it is _always_ the video driver. You can try disabling the hardware cursor with: Option "swcursor" in the config file. man XF86Config for full details. -- Mike A.
