Hi Tim,
I'm also using Lenny (2.6.22 kernel) with fglrx for a Radeon 9550 video
card. I am not getting this mouse behaviour when running opengl graphics
programs (ppracer, google-earth, neverball, etc.). Can you post the section
of your xorg.conf file dealing with the pointing device? Maybe there's a
difference in our two setups that might help find the problem.
Cheers,
Jonathan
