I have installed Kubuntu 10.10 on a neighbour's computer. In Windows
there is was no mouse jitter but in Kubuntu the mouse jitters. I tried
her mouse at my place, it had no problem. I tried my trouble-free
mouse at her place, it also jittered.

What could be the cause? Thanks!

Dotan, I experienced mouse jitters only under this situation (all
conditions must apply)......


o at browser only when a java application did not start (did not install
java). Jitterring stopped when page is removed.

o did not install video driver (running from thumb)
o using a 'stripped down' OS (ubuntu with enlightenment gui)

I do not have any problem with my 'fully-equipped' Kubuntu.

OR
the mouse knows you have some other 'intentions' going to her house.

Both mice are optical USB mice. Mine is a Microsoft mouse, hers is a
generic cheap mouse.

Thanks, I will be over there again later, I'll see which video driver
is installed. I didn't even think of that. I don't even know what
video hardware is in there.

Wow, these days it is possible to install Linux and not know what the
video hardware is. I just realised that!

She's well past 60 and just buried a husband! Trust me, my intentions
in that field are restricted to my wife and redtube!

Try a different usb port. Also check dmesg.

I did test with both the front and back USB ports (different
controllers). I will see if there is anything interesting in dmesg,
thanks.

Check the bios settings?? I disabled the parallel printer option to free
up an IRQ. I know, "Plug N Play" is supposed to overcome that type of
problem, but I'm olde Skool. If USB, make sure that the bios is using
that, as there is no "Windows Mouse Driver" for Linux.

Just for grins, run `top` and see if some CPU hog is in the system.
I had an issue with that last week, when a terminated application left
behind a sub-process that was consuming 100% of one of the two
processors in this system. Mouse movement was 'quirky' until I found
and `kill`ed the process.
