possessed cursor on dell latitude 600

[Art Edwards <laptop@icantbelieveimdoingthis.com>]

The cursor on my dell laptop has developed a mind of its own. When I 
type it moves to either the upper right- or lower left-hand corner of 
the screen. This behavior appears to be connected to having the cursor 
joy-stick in the middle of the keyboard. On the windoze side, one can 
disable this. Is there a similar capability under linux?
