Thanks - John <snip> This is now happening many times a day and is causing quite an upset. I scoured the Internet for ideas and there seems to be lots of reports about this on Debian and Ubuntu but no clear identification of the problem or clear fixes.
I posted to the Debian mailing list assuming it is a Debian problem. They recommended editing xorg.conf to add Option "SWCursor" "yes" to the video driver. That didn't help. Using Ctl-Alt-D as someone else suggested to recover the mouse did not help. I'm not sure if NX and X2Go are complicating the issue. Has anyone else seen this? Has anyone solved it? It is making the system approach unusable.
