That's a common problem that I've only seen with Linux. I haven't had it happen with Windows or OS/2. With earlier kernels, you could clear the problem by switching to a command terminal and then back to the desktop. However, that doesn't seem to work with the 2.6 kernel. I've heard a USB mouse (that's USB all the way, not through a PS/2 adapter) and KVM works, but don't have any experience with one of those. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
