This just started a couple of days ago, but the trackpad on my dual-USB, Late 01 iBook is going nutso on me. It tends to gravitate towards the upper left corner or bottom right corner and then it doesn't want to move right. It just kind of goes in circles when I try to move it somewhere. If I let it be for few minutes, it goes back to normal, but then it goes nutso again.
Help! What can I do?

I'm assuming you know to make sure that only one finger at a time touches the trackpad.
That said, is there anything funky on your fingertips? Or try cleaning the trackpad (a soft, damp cloth- no chemicals).

Nothing funky on my fingertips. At times it won't stay where I put the cursor, sometimes it gravitates toward the corners. Other times my finger simply hovering above the trackpad will move the cursor. :/
Will reseting the Power Manager help?

I've had that happen before (once). I think I might have had something on it. Did you try cleaning the trackpad (just to rule it out)?

Yep and it's better, but it's still sticking. :/
