Yes, and I was running testing until fairly recently myself, so it's not likely any difference there. > But mind you - the focus and mouse grabbing isn't happening for most of > the apps, only with a few *specific* ones.

I'm miles (or kilometers) away from being an expert on any of this stuff, and I can't get the problem to manifest here. About all I can do is make wild guesses. :) I think if it were me, knowing somebody else didn't have the problem, I'd start by trying the open source NVIDIA driver, just to see if that made a difference. Hrm. Come to think of it, I have a RIVA 128 in one of my X terminals. I could try whatever Debian's latest available closed-source NVIDIA driver is on there and see if I can make this happen. A bit later. We're having a hellacious thunder storm at the moment, and that box is offline. > [1] Having a computer with an nvidia card sucks because the one driver > from X was sucking badly (sloooooooooow) last time I looked and using > the closed source is a real waste of time wrt to upgrading the > kernel... sigh.

The last time I fooled with it, I just grabbed nvidia-module-some-flummy from Debian. I'm not actually using it at the moment though. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/
