[lug] Mouse problems in X

[John Edwards]

	I've been trying to upgrade to the newest distro's of Linux, Redhat and
Mandrake versions 6.  Everything seems to work ok, except my mouse X.
	I'm using a Microsoft Intellimouse.  When I start up X, the first movement
of the mouse sends it to an upper right-hand corner, usually opening up
drop-down menus along the way. 
	I've tried setting it to the Intellimouse, Microsoft Compatible and PS/2
mouse settings in xf86config (which I generally find best for setting up X)
and each does the same.
	The mouse works fine in console mode.
	I've checked at RedHat's site, but found nothing indicating a fix for this. 
	Has anyone else experienced this?  Has anyone fixed it?
	Just a note, I can get Caldera to run, but I haven't been able to figure
out how to re-compile the kernel from Caldera (make menuconfig, etc doesn't
seem to exist) and this is my next step in learning Linux (I've recompiled
one working kernel.  Now, to trim it down some more...)

	Thanks in advance.
