           Summary: mouse goes crazy when disk is nearly full
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Input/Mouse
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: doctorkaeding at yahoo.com


On an ext3 partition, some space is reserved for root's 
use only.  When all space for normal users is full and 
there is still disk activity (root is installing files 
or as a user I am moving files to another partition to 
make more room), the mouse goes crazy.  It flies all over 
the screen and randomly clicks on things.  It resizes 
windows, closes things, and even once locked the console 
(by clicking on the correct thing in KDE).  The mouse I 
use is imps2 on dev/psaux.  All system stuff and /home 
are on the same partition (/dev/hda7).  This has happened 
three times so far, once in twm and twice in KDE.  The 
only thing the episodes have in common is that the user 
portion of the drive was full and root was installing 
something.
