Problems with my pointer!

Hello, I am going crazy trying to fix this problem and I don't know where to go in Linux. My mouse, for some reason, if I hover over anything with the pointer, it acts as if I clicked there. This makes everything very difficult. And makes a mess of things! I have a USB mouse, a Logitech, I don't know if the mouse itself matters because this happens if I move the pointer with the touchpad as well. Please please help! Let me know what other info you would need! :dazed:


OS is Linux 2.6.31.8-0.1-desktop i686
system is openSUSE 11.2 (i586)
KDE is 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 6".
Computer: Acer Aspire 5672WLMi Laptop
Firefox 3.5.7.

Hi and Welcome !

Post the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file here.

I didn't have that file, but I did have xorg.conf.install and this is it. Hope you can help! This is driving me insane!

I also have xorg.conf.install but NOT xorg.conf. I am using OpenSUSE, and my pad doesn't work at all. Should I have an xorg.conf in addition to the xorg.conf.install?

I don't know KDE but in openSUSE I would look in YAST or Control Center for the mouse applet and see if things like focus following pointer is set, I'm not sure what it would actually be called :)
