    I've suffered the same problem before, with it randomly whizzing around
    and left/right clicking as if possessed. In my case, it appears to be a
    combination of the motherboard and my mouse (I also had problems when
    using Windows on the same hardware, though not as bad). Running a PS/2
    extension lead between computer and mouse made it worse, making me
    wonder if the power to the mouse was inadequate, or poor shielding was
    letting in RFI, or static from the cable being dragged across the desk
    was spiking things (this is a real problem for some people). i.e. I'm
    certain it was hardware issues.

    I swapped to using an USB mouse, and rarely see anything like it
    anymore. Now, occasionally the mouse will whizz around a bit if I
    suddenly move it, but nothing worse. I only have the acceleration
    around half way, all the mouse settings are still on the initial
    settings, so I don't think I've set anything badly.
