Hi guys, using Buster. Updated and upgraded regularly.
This problem occurred since yesterday. While reading a webpage, mouse cursor auto move in small steps across the screen, horizontally, diagonally and vertically and also freezes after sometime. The mouse and keyboard are locked. Have to press the Power button to power down. Can this be due to virus or something else?

Virus?
Re: Virus?
could be or it could be a driver or hardware issue. You can use xinput to identify the driver used by your mouse/keyboard and re-install it to see if it solves the issue. to identify the device and then to identify the driver. You may try to switch from libinput(if you are using that) to evdev and see if that fixes the issue.
Code: Select all
xinput --list
Code: Select all
xinput --list-props [i]device id[/i]

Buster should be using evdev. Dependency problem when I try to install.

...strange things can happen if Your optical mouse have to walk on a shiny surface...
Besides that, it can be anything from dirty optics to broken cable... or if this is a RF mouse, it can be WiFi/Bluetooth/USB3.0 interference.
