Description chris okeeffe 2006-11-10 12:28:31 UTC
While using firefox and other programs such as emerge my mouse jumped to the left hand side of the screen and stays there.

I could move it fast up and down, but didn't seem to go to the right unless i move it very slowly.

I have to restart X

seems to have the solution however i am not used to bug solving so I will do it if someone helps me in the bug fixing process at least for this bug. 

And please tell me it has nothing to do with my current glibc downgrade issue.;0(

I'm sticking the final URL with patches etc in here.
Comment 2 Joshua Baergen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-06 21:26:07 UTC
A patch should be included in X7.2.  Chris, could you give it a try and let us know if it fixes your issue?  Re-open this bug once you have done so.
Comment 3 René Rhéaume (a.k.a. repzilon, rener) 2007-05-26 19:12:07 UTC
Please reopen the bug, I still get the problem with Xorg 7.2.0 and a hardened kernel. However, I do not experience the problem using a non-hardened kernel, like ck-sources.
