    Sounds like you have magnification (Zoom) turned on (System Prefs>Universal Access>Seeing>Zoom ON (CMD-OPT-8), with option of “Screen Moves With Pointer” set to On. If you still want to have the handy Zoom facility available, just make sure you’re zoomed Out all the way (CMD-OPT-minus sign)) so you don’t get the wandering desktop with mouse movement.
