When given process such as Xen or Virtual box loading a image to install a OS, or when cdrw -i /path/iso is recording to a dvd , the mouse pointer gets lost (usb or ps/2) and disappears when video rendering gets bogged & slows down with windows pane movement smearing of the pane on the screen during when windows are moved around on the desktop at the same time other task is using lot of IO and CPU usage.. The only way to get the mouse back is to reboot or init 6. Stopping and starting the dtlogin for Java desktop does not get the mouse to return. My system is using one Sata 500g HD in ide mode and AMD Phenom(tm) 9850 Quad-Core, motherboards such as ATI or nvidia based ones does not seem to matter. Any recommendations to use truss or force a kernel crash so I can diagnose why the mouse in X-windows under a heavy IO and CPU load stops working? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
