It doesn't seem mouse dependent, more timing dependent. If I have the problem I can switch away, then switch back, and the problem is gone. It's just that initial wild control that gives me the problem. > But your solution is a bit of overkill.

Googling for 'penguin-key" doesn't seem to pop anything up - got any pointers? In the meantime I'll CTL-ALT-1, login and fix with mousedrake unless there's a faster mouse reset. > On 8.1 you could also go to configuration and use Mndrake Control Center to > get there, but some of the newer GUI interfaces for MCC do NOT allow > keyboard navigation by any method I have tried. I'd go to configuration if I have any control, the only control I have is the keyboard, so a logout through CTL-ALT-DEL (shudder) is about the only thing I could find to reset the mouse. At the login screen there's apparently little I can do to screw up the mouse pointer... it's always OK after a switch (at least in my limited testing).
