Hazan, and all others, please forgive me but I have forgotten what was 
said before this and have to ask this question again (if it was already 
asked before): do you have the proper graphics driver installed in your 
system for your graphics card?

Some problems with regards to mices have been caused by having the 
basic, default, video driver installed on the system. Just as an 
example, the default video driver usually installed by a system for a 
nVidia graphics card is called 'nouveau' but then when you install the 
latest nVidia driver (from the nVidia site), which is driver #295.59, 
all problems disappear.
