I get this too, from time to time. Could this be an Xserver issue? I'm using the xserver-svga 3.5.5-1 package with, I believe, a Matrox Millenium G200 video card. I haven't found a way to fix it, but I did discover quite accidentally that if I switch to a console tty, then back to my X tty, it restores control to the cursor...after a little weirdness. The first time you move the mouse after switching back, it'll spaz out, emitting a couple random click events and landing in the upper right corner. I'm also using CVS Enlightenment as my window manager, but I highly doubt that's related. So, try a <Ctrl><Alt>F6 then an <Alt>F7 and see if you get your mouse back. HTH, John
