Hello,

The problem was that the mouse was way too sensitive, meaning the
pointer would go too far for a small mouse movement.

xset q showed the mouse settings to be the same as another computer
running Beowulf i386 so the problem was the mouse itself. I didn't like
that mouse anyway so I bought a $6.88 mouse from Walmart. It works fine
with the default settings and I now know how to change them if needed.

Thanks for the help.

Best regards,
Fred
