This is actually my major complaint with the RedHat distros.  I have tried 
every version from 5.2 up, and have had the same problem.  Using Mouse 
Systems 2-button, 3-button, Microsoft PS2, Intellimouse, and several generic 
PS2.  The only solution I have found is using a serial mouse, or another 
distro (Mandrake does not have the same problem, even though it is based on 
RedHat).

It kinda makes X pratically impossible to navigate, you get to where you 
want the mouse to be, and it jumps to the left or bottom left of the screen.
