[Tfug] Erratic mouse behavior

Recently, I've been getting very erratic mouse behavior with my 
Debian/Windows XP OS on K7 motherboard with AMD Athlon (ca.2004).  It's 
driving me crazy.

On the advice of some news groups.

I set acpi=off in /grub/menu.lst
I used variuos "Resolution"s in etc/X11/xorg.conf

When I boot Windows I pretty much get the same behavior, erratic mouse 
pointer. 

I changed some ACPI stuff around in BIOS, no difference in mouse behavior.

Is my PS/2 mouse port bad?  Should I reinstall BIOS software?  New dual 
core computers are as low as $300.00.

Any advice??



Thanks
