This tool has gotten good reviews.

It has substantial feature overlap with the "mousekeys" feature of
AccessX however; AccessX allows the user to control the mouse with the
keyboard, including position and button clicks.  It would be very
important to confirm that KMouseTool does not interfere with a
functioning AccessX setup, since AccessX is already available for Linux
and Unix systems.

For more information about AccessX, see:

http://www.rehab.uiuc.edu/accessx/overview.html

The GNOME 2 desktop includes a preferences dialog for AccessX as part of
the system menus, and there are several GUI interfaces to accessx as
well as command-line utilities available.  AccessX features are part of
the XKB X extension which is a standard part of recent Linux and XFree86
distrbutions. 

Best regards,

Bill
