Mouse going wild in Slitaz Cooking

Okay, this is a problem I've been having since the first second I installed Slitaz almost two months ago.

However, it has become more frequent since I upgraded from the Distro version of Firefox to the latest version (although I don't think it's related).

What it happens is that the mouse gets absolutely crazy - it makes random clicks (and right-clicks and scroll clicks, et. al.) and the smallest move I make makes it move even wilder and perform more clicks. The only way to stop the insanity is to do "win key+D" (i.e. "show desktop" a windows shortcut that's surprisingly working in SliTaz as well) and then go back to browsing.

But this is only a temporary fix - and it's a pain when such wild stuff occur even in other environments (i.e. audio editing).

I use a PS/2 mouse.

Is there any quick-fix (or a fix in general, even if it's a complex one) or I should just switch to a USB mouse?

I've read in other corners of the internet as well that the PS/2 compatibility of SliTaz is quite debatable.

I hope there is a fix since March is upcoming and I already reserved two of my servers to be switched to SliTaz, but my collaborators would appreciate if they could use their mouse properly

P.S.: The issue appears on all 5 machines that I tested SliTaz.
