Not just Mandrake. I've just reported this bug with Gentoo. The culprit looks like liblow.c of gpm-1.20.0. I'm using framebuffer vga=791 and have a PS/2 optical mouse. Peter -- Gentoo Linux (portage-2.0.38). KDE: 3.0.3 Qt: 3.0.5 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1600+ 512MB. Kernel: 2.4.19-win4lin. GCC 3.2 Linux user #275590 (http://counter.li.org/). up 2:18. #=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=#
