Mouse moves only vertically

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

We have installed ftty 0.4, so far with two consoles.
We often have a strange problem: the mouse on the
second console, tty51, only moves up and down. There
is no horizontal movement. Rebooting the computer
usually solves the problem.
