The pointer is about .5 inches to the right of where the mouse is actually pointing. The only way I have been able reset it is to reboot the machine. The problem appears with XFree86 version 3 & 4. I have tried several different mouse selections with mouseconfig and it makes no difference. I use Netscape 4.9 for mail and Mozilla for browsing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use X. 2. 3. Actual Results: After some period of time the mouse shifts.

Add Option "swcursor" to the Device section of your config file, and restart X. Does the problem go away?
This is a bug in the trident chip. Option "swcursor" will fix it. But to get rid of all those messages too..... Download a new driver from http://www.xfree86.org/~alanh and pop it in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers. Make sure you backup the old one, just in case. You won't need the swcursor option with the new driver.
The "Option swcursor" change fixed the problem as predicted. I will download the new driver and give it a spin.
Alan's new driver is in rawhide. Please reopen this bug report if the new Limbo beta and rawhide XFree86 still cause this problem.
