Yes a number of people have. Mine did this as well, the quick workaround is to do ctrl-alt-f1 and then switch when leaving Linux. Then ctrl-alt-f7 when you come back to it. Problem is in the way the mechanical ones work (which is why XP has trouble as well) restarting console mouse (service gpm ) if installed will also get your mouse back. James
