Mac OS 10.3 mouse bug

Aieee, the mouse is completely whacked using newly-released 10.3. It's completely unusable... I think for all Torque-based games, too (ThinkTanks at least). The arrow keys work, though.
Though I admit it could be due to some other thing I have installed, so, anyone else having problems?

I have an iBook, and with a mouse or the trackpad, it's the same problem.
I am using a Microsoft Mouse, which uses some extra drivers, but I turned it off while playing, so I shouldn't be a problem...

We need specifics so that we can attempt to reproduce the problem ourselves :)

Did you ever test it with games other than Think Tanks? If it is a TT only problem, try emailing support@bravetree.com or posting in the ThinkTanks forums to get the attention of the TT Devs - if it is not just TT, please post the model of your mouse and driver revision, which iBook revisions you have (or just the system specs), also which version of 10.3 you are currently using (it is up to 10.3.4 now I think)We need specifics so that we can attempt to reproduce the problem ourselves :)

My iBook is 800MHz G3, 32MB video, OS 10.3.2 (latest), 30GB HD, 12"...
My mouse is the Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical, whose driver is IntelliPoint 5 (like most other Microsoft Mice)...
I get the feeling no one else has problems? Bah.

I have not tried it with ThinkTanks, but Marble Blast and the Torque Demo have been working fine.
If you are using a Powerbook or iBook you may want to make sure that the "ignore trackpad when mouse is present" option is selected in the Keyboard & Mouse system pref. We have had some problems reported before that were solved by that.
