Pointer moves to one side of the screen in Feisty

Bug Description

On a vanilla Feisty install on an Dell Inspiron 4000 laptop w/ 800MHz P3, 503Mb RAM, 20Gb HDD, the pointer moves, without any instruction to one side of the screen at seemingly random times. It is always only temporary, but for the few minutes that it lasts for it is extremely annoying. This was a minor problem on Dapper (I never used Edgy on the machine), but it only ever happened once say every 3-6 months. The install is completely standard: the only modification I have made to the default settings is to connect it to a wireless network.

I haven't experienced this problem for a while now, so it's fine to close
it.
