Hi! I pulled out my MacBook Pro from back in 2008 and installed F26 on it. It worked fine the first couple of days (except from wifi), but then the cursor started lagging and freezing up. I can move it slowly about an inch on the screen before it freezes. Then I can wait a couple of seconds and move it another inch or so. After a few tries it freezes completely. Everything else responds and I can control the computer with the keyboard. I tried upgrading to F27 after the release, but the issue is the same. Any idea what I can do to fix this? Reinstall is of course an option, but I wanted to check with you first. Any advice is appreciated.

I'd guess the first test is to use a usb mouse to check for hardware problems. If the usb mouse has the same problem, it's software.
You might use 'xev' to test for x events.
Maybe create a temporary test user and try that user to see if it's a configuration setting that got set by accident.
