Last night it pretty much quit and I wound up pulling about three years of accumulated lint out of it.

But will try that. Not sure if I tried unplugging/plugging back in. I will look at gpm as well. I've tried exiting out of X, stopping GDM/KDM, but that does not work. --- Rodney D.

What Crispin suggested may or may not fix the problem; it's definitely a good start, but as several replies have already suggested, you haven't really provided enough information for us to do any more than make guesses. If Crispin's suggestion doesn't solve the problem, send us the contents of the two files "/etc/gpm.conf" and "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
