If the mouse has consistenly random movement (i.e., it never goes the way
you tell it to) they you have probably incorrectly specified your mouse
type in XF86Config.  If it sometimes does the right thing, sometimes
not, then you likely have another device conflicting with the IRQ or
I/O ports of your mouse.
