This always happened on a *nix (FreeBSD, SuSE and RH Linux w/ X) but not the Windows machines... I just think they aren't designed well enough to work with *nix's -- but, like I said, problem was solved once I turned off the scroll wheel function. I also deal with odd issues with the keyboard that finally go away after switching back and forth between machines.... Since I already sunk the money, I have to put up with it unless someone else has a clue as to what is happening.
