I had a similar problem recently when re-installing RH 7.1  Set mouse type
to Microsoft Intellimouse with wheel. Mouse then p***ed off to the top of
the screen like yours. Solved the problem by Alt-Del-Backspace to get back
to Text Term, started install again and set mouse type to Generic 3 Button
with emulate three button mouse not set. Cant use the wheel but rarely have
a use for it anyway.

I use an Omnicube KVM 2-Port and it works fine except that every now and
again the pointer statrs to slowly walk up or down the screen on its own.
There's no pattern to this so I assume it's a small fault in the unit.

Hope this helps
