set-up: etch, gnome (eg gnome-core 2.14.3.6), metacity 2.14.5-4 and
Dell/Logitech USB optical mouse (seems to work fine in WinXP), with
nVidia graphics card/TwinView and 2 monitors (diff resolutions)
symptoms (occasional and not sure how to repeat)
a) double clicking won't select anything
b) in evolution, clicking on a new message or folder has no effect
c) the cursor (arrowhead) disappears - if I set prefs to show
cursor by
depressing 'CNTL' I get the moving rectangles but there's no cursor
there)
d) focus doesn't move to new window (as it should and usually does)
I think the following is also a symptom but not 100% sure:
e) doing ALT-TAB to move between windows does nothing on very first
ALT-TAB
Any thoughts???
Or am I just going mad, slowly??
Thanks, M
and about .5 hour later my USB keyboard is unresposive too - I could
maximize/restore windows using the mouse but 5 mins later and
although the cursor will move nothing else is happening (can't go to
cntl-alt-F1 and mouse won't resize windows or change focus)
logging in from another machine doesn't show up any errors in syslog
and there's no excessive load and the USB mouse/keyboard are still
listed under lsusb:

(Yes I perhaps should have said it's an AMD 64bit chip?)
So, any thoughts before I reboot (or for next time it ends up in this
state)???
Thanks, MIchael
