Thanks for the response. I tried pulling keyboard and substituting another mouse, but that had no effect. Since I have no other odd behaviors using mouse to drag I'm not surprised. I powered down and then could not log beck in when I rebooted. Ran update-grub from Cimaera on another disk and for some obscure reason I could then log in. The problem with mouse-drag does not occur on the other disk disk. Purging aisleriot and reinstalling did not help I checked .xsession-errors and other logs and found no signs of trouble. I had trouble understanding your suggestion to use ps with -o cmd. For me, the -o option for the ps command is to specify format. Were you suggesting that I do: $ ps -o aisleriot ? Of note is that when I start /usr/games/sol as root the problem disappars---I can drag cards just fine. -- Haines Brown _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
