Good morning everyone (at least for me),
I have lived with this problem for a little while, and now I've finally
fed up. First off, I do not believe this problem ever came up for me in
7.0...
I have an Intellimouse Explorer (the optical kind with all the whizzo
side-buttons and everything... oh BTW, anyone know how to keymap those
buttons in Nutscrape and elsewhere for back and forward, like they were in
the 'doze world?). It runs great, wheel runs great, and all life is
happy. But there are numerous times per day that while I'm working in X
(X 4.0, if it makes a difference) that the system seems to lose track of
where the mouse is tracking to. It locks the mouse and refuses to move the
pointer UNTIL I switch out to a non-X virtual terminal (good time to check
the logs on console 12 for anyone deciding to reverse ICMP me to death),
and then back into X. The mouse resets itself, and life returns to normal
for a few minutes, until I have to do it again.
This can get fairly annoying a lot of times, as there is usually a 3
second or so delay between me hitting Ctrl-Alt-F12 and it actually
switching to that console. And there have been numerous times where I've
been working in Gnome, listening to XMMS, etc etc etc and generally
raising heck on my machine that when it switches consoles, the system
freezes hard, requiring a reset-button push.
Here's the details of my system, just in case:
Hydrogen Beta 1 2.2.15 (yeah I know... I have the release discs next to
me. Just too lazy... :D)
X-4.0 with the nvidia drivers
192 megs of RAM, K6-2-300
Gnome 1.2 from Helix
MS Intellimouse Explorer (optical)
imwheel loaded
kudzu loaded (long explanation, but the mouse seems to "power up" when
this loads during the bootsequence)
Thanks for the ideas. And if anyone knows those button-bindings for those
side butttons, I'd be really thankful. :D
