As I remember RH8 had its share of bugs. It may be that an upgrade is
necessary in your case. You could test the idea by running Knoppix or
the 'live' version of Ubuntu to see if the problems you are reporting
disappear in the instance of an up to date kernel, as would be the case
in one of the above.

The mouse problem sounds like dirty rollers inside an older ball based
mouse. If this is the case, you can easily clean the muck off the
rollers with some rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip and the blade of a small
slot screwdriver.
