Rubber Band Mouse!

Greeting,

I just install Caldera's OpenLinux 2.4....it was a real breeze, until! After
the first complete shutdown my mouse(PS2 compatible/with wheel) now acts if
its on a rubber band. The pointer goes to the upper right hand corner, you
can move it out about 3 inches and boom back it goes. It seems that I recall
reading something about this condition awhile back, but I'm unable to find
my notes on subject. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Chuck
