i have installed the CENTOS 5.

OS is working perfectly but the only problem is that the mouse cursor is sticked in the left side of screen.
it is moving up and down i mean vertical but not moving horizontal.
first i thought may be problem of installation but that is not because it happens again after re-installation.

can anyone please tell how to solve this freaky problem..??

It sounds like one of the gears in the mouse is bad. Try another mouse or move the ball by hand. I don't think the problem is in CentOS.

How did you check the mouse? Did you try it on another machine? I would also try another mouse on the machine in question.

You probably have the wrong mouse driver installed.

Verify the correct mouse driver for the one you use, and change your config to match.

Check for the following stanza in your /etc/x11/xorg.conf;

Code: [ Select ]
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Mouse0"
    Driver     "mouse"
    Option     "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
    Option     "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option     "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection
  1. Section "InputDevice"
  2.     Identifier "Mouse0"
  3.     Driver     "mouse"
  4.     Option     "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
  5.     Option     "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
  6.     Option     "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
  7. EndSection

If you're sure that the mouse is good then, do what daemonguy suggested.

Is the mouse connected to a USB or PS2 port?

Get a PS2 adapter or a PS2 mouse and see what happens.

What do you mean it's not possible? Buy a PS2 mouse or buy an adapter. Don't be cheap all your life.

Uh... huh?

Considering your message was posted Mar 29th, unless he has a time machine I sincerely doubt that. :)

Additionally, my post initially asked for the stanza to be verified.

If it is USB, then he should check to ensure he has usb drivers operating. (usbd)

Also, telling him 'not to be cheap', is not helpful.
