Mouse cursor issue!

[diogo]

Hi guys

I am new to linux in general, and all the distros I install I am getting same issue...

Whenever I point the mouse on far left on the screen, the pointer jumps to the top, but is still functional...

I tried Ubuntu, Mint and Fedora, on different versions, and the issue is always the same...

I hope someone can help me finding out why this happens and how to fix it... is driving me nuts!

Check the youtube video for better understanding.

I suggest that you describe your specific hardware (or do a search using your hardware as keywords).

To use Linux effectively, you should get accustomed to using command line commands from a terminal. (Some must be run as root.)
Do you already know how to do this?

What kind of mouse is this?

Have you tried a different mouse?

Yes I can run terminal as root...

I am using Synaptics Trackpad. Same issue when connecting an external mouse

One shot-in-the dark is to investigate whether the display size that Fedora is using matches the advertised display size (in pixels) for your screen. In the old days, /etc/X11/xorg.conf had the information about display sizes, but I don't know know a good way to find this out in modern Fedoras. Perhaps someone will tell us. The command

xwininfo -root

will give information about the "root" window on the screen. Compare that to the specs for you physical screen if you can find them.
