Mouse Problem

Hi There,
I experience strange mouse behavoir, and that now as i finally started 
to really like fedora. I have an optical IntelliMouse (wheel, 5 keys). 
Movement and so on works fine, the problem are the clicks. Sometimes 
gnome misunderstands a single click as doubleclick. Sometimes it acts 
like clicked when I drag a window around on its title bar while beeing 
moved. This is most annoying, because it happens very ofthen that the 
window minimizes while i wanted to just move it, or that a starter 
starts instead of beeing moved. Sometimes when i decide to click the 
delete button on my email client, it misunderstands the click as 
doubleclick and deletes 2 mails instead of one... Bad Idea (TM)

It seems that while the Mouse Button is held down, sometimes a 
spontaneous ghost click event is generated without obvious reason.

Any hints on this?

Oh, i installed the Graphic card driver from ATI, im using an ATI Radeon 
9700pro. Could the ATI X-Server thingie have anything to do with that?

Thanx would be happy on expressions of compassion.

Thomas
