While you're waiting for others to respond, how many PS/2 ports do you have? If there's more than one, can you take a quick peek and make sure you're actually plugged into the mouse port and not the keyboard one? That option came up as a fix on a recent Debian-User thread. Additionally, I also experienced that a few years ago. In those instances, the mouse would function seemingly normal for a while and then would eventually glitch to where nothing short of a reboot would fix things. Just out of curiosity, too, how much memory do you have? Occasionally memory (or the lack of it) plays a part in glitches related to paths that head towards hibernate, suspend, etc. A PS to it is this is a good trigger for learning the keyboard shortcuts necessary for at least getting to "Log Out" and/or "Settings > Mouse and Touchpad" under the Applications menu. ALT+F1 works for me, grin. Just thinking out loud.. :) Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with plastic sporks *
