Mouse moves upper left part of screen; hard to control
by Pen guin from LinuxQuestions.org on (#55GYS)
Backstory:
I have been using Linux Mint since June 10th, when I first installed my first nVME drive, and ever since.
The problem is, LM has an audio issue, (that as far as I can tell,) must be fixed every time you start Linux Mint Cinn.
So, unable to find a permanent solution, I've decided to switch back to MX Linux - I was using that in 2019 with no problems.
The problem:
Today, when I loaded the "Live CD" (19.2) of Mx Linux, the mouse immediately moved from where it was located, and made a bee-line for the upper-left corner of the screen. I even gave my nVME drive, (that previously held Linux Mint,) a new partition table. That, unfortunately, didn't fix the issue.
I cruised the web looking for an answer, and it turns out that a/ someone had a GTX1070. I on the other hand have the GTX 1080 Ti. They were told to download the "Nvidia 367 or 370" only.
But seeing as I have the GTX 1080 Ti, what should I do?
Oh, by the way, in my other OS, I have no issue with the mouse; although its happened before to me, I just can't remember the solution.
Interestingly enough, that was the straw that broke the camel's back and sent me in search of another OS...I was surprised to see that a variation on the theme could happen in Linux.
Thanks in advance,
