After I installed Ubuntu8.10, updated and modified my xorg.conf to allow my video driver I notice that when I click my left mouse button and then use the scroll button the pointer drags a square of the screen from where I clicked to where I scroll to. I don't think that it is my xorg.conf, but has something to do with the updates.
I had a lot of errors when updating, mostly to do with broken packages and dependencies. I fixed the broken packages and uninstalled and reinstalled the packages with dependency problems until no more error messages appeared. I think that the major culprit was the package ubuntu desktop and its dependencies.
Here is my xorg.conf:

I don't remember much about all the packages involved; that was a pretty chaotic time trying to fix everything, and my mind is getting a little old.
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
