[NTLUG:Discuss] Mouse trouble

[Chuck Graf]

When the mouse is misbehaving, try running "top" command in a terminal.
See what process is at the top of the list.  I would bet that something is
running in the background that is bogging down the system.  Whatever is on
top, note the PID number (four digit process ID number), and quit top with
Ctl-c.  Run "kill", followed by the PID number.  Then see if your mouse
works better.

Good luck.
