Hello
I just started experiencing a problem with the mouse in Cent OS 8. It keeps moving to the top left corner of the screen.
Do you know how to fix this?
Thanks

I presume we're talking CentOS Stream 8? If so, what updates got applied recently ?

If we're not talking CentOS Stream 8 then you're at least a year out of date as CentOS Linux went EOL at the end of 2021.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

I am not talking about CentOS Stream 8. Thanks. I know CentOS 8 Linux already went EOL.

Then you should migrate to one of the alternatives ASAP. They all have conversion scripts to go from C8L to themselves (and to each other). I'd suggest using one.
