I have just recently installed linux. I am currently trying to learn it,
and one of the problems that I am having is that my mouse will not work with
linux. Originally when linux was installed it worked just fine, but then
after an autoupdate and restarting my computer, when i touch the mouse, the
pointer jumps to the top of the screen and then if i try to move it around,
I can not see it and what ever it touches, it opens that or if it is on the
screen it right clicks automatically. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thank You.
