Re: [newbie] kde 3.1 problem, no mouse
This has happened to me before. I solve it by doing the following: 1. CTRL-ALT-F1 (Drop out of X) 2. Login as Root 3. Type 'mousedrake' 4. Click 'ok' 5. CTRL-ALT-F7 (Get back into X) Doing the Mousedrake reinitializes the mouse.

I used to lose the mouse with my KVM, and always went to a session using CTRL-ALT-1, logged in as root and ran mousedrake. That'll reset the driver and resync, and that's what I needed with my problem. Maybe that'll do something for you as well. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
