I had weird problems like this, and cured them by replacing the mouse. Oddly enough the mouse causing all the problems was a "Microsoft Mouse"!!! Using the E-Machines mouse that came with my computer now.

apparently Microsoft mice are just hewlett packard mice with the word Microsoft written on them...
A mate of mine reckons that the touchpad gets cold and acts up when it is not all a uniform temperature (so when i have my finger on a bit, that bit warms up) but it doesn't happen all the time, so that might not be the entire problem.
Somebody else said maybe it's the actual plastic surrounding the touchpad bit that's pressing down on it.

I doubt that is the case for me. My mouse is a logitech. Actually my entire system is "Made for Linux" I got it at

so I doubt that is where the problem lies.

I agree some of there configs are not that great. I definitely did not want an Intel processor. I bought a Lieutenant Series with adjustments.

Athlon XP1600+
Gigabyte GA-7VTXH ATX Motherboard
Onboard Creative CT-5880 sound chip and AC97 Codec
Onboard Realtek 8100 10/100Mb LAN chip
Asus GeForce MX200 32 meg.
256 Meg DDR 2400 ram
30Gig 7.2K rpm IDE hard disk

It came with Logitech Mouse and Keytronic keyboard.

I use an IBM P70 17 inch monitor.

It all runs great together. Everything is supported under Mandrake.

For some reason though I have those problems if I am runing the KDE. I am considering switching over to RedHat just to see if the problems follow or not. That would prove whether it is the KDE and my hardware or Mandrake's implementation of the KDE.
