Hi,
My beloved laptop is afflicted with a new disease (bug), never noticed before
upgrading to RH7.3+KDE3.0.1, and I don't know what to blame. Sometimes, as I
am working and X is on, the mouse pointer suddenly ceases to represent the
actual coordinates of this critter (actually, it's a touchpad), and is about
1.5 cm to the left of it's actual, invisible location. Today I paid special
attention to this problem and noticed that
* gpm was not affected; in console mode the mouse was doing just fine
* restarting X didn't help
* deleting (uhm, backing up) ~/.kde/ did not help
* running qtconfig turned up no interesting info
* warm rebooting did not help
* only a cold reboot helped
Does this sound familiar? The fact that warm rebooting did not help points to
a hardware problem, but why now? And why is gpm not behaving badly?
Your help is truly appreciated,
Arie Folger
