Description of problem:
Sometime the mousepointer is jumping about the screen. I've selected Generic ->
3 Button Mouse (PS/2) but i've a wheel mouse and if i selected Wheel Mouse
(PS/2) then i can't use the mouse. If i move the mouse to the left site it is
jumping on backleft. Under RedHat 8.0 all it's all right.

This is probably a duplicate of Bug 80309 which is caused by service gpm. 
Please try the following:
* CTRL-ALT-F1
* login as root
* service gpm stop
* chkconfig gpm off
* CTRL-ALT-F7

If the mouse then works properly then gpm was the problem.  If so please close
this as DUPLICATE against 80309.
