Hello, I'd rather not post here but I have not been able to find anything similar to my problem on Google, or the FreeBSD archive (or I am REALLY bad @ searching - highly likely).
During X sessions, my mouse pointer is fine (usually). Intermittently, and without any "obvious" reason, the mouse pointer aim "shifts" approximately 1.3cm to the right of where the actual pointer is acting. I feel like I have to explain further as its "that weird"... If I wanted to select the ***** section, in the "Test Area:" below, I would position my cursor / pointer in front of the first * & then click_n_drag to the right, till all the *s were selected. In fact what actually happens is that I'd have the @@@@@s selected instead. That's how far out of alignment it goes. It makes things a bit difficult using windows & dialog boxes, when you have to place the pointer over one button, to be able to press another! Test Area: @@@@@***** This "weirdness" also happened when I was using Linux Mandrake 8.2, (before I discovered what a great idea FreeBSD is ;-) Not wanting to sound (too) lame, this didn't ever occur when I used Windows 2k Pro or XP Pro. I get the same problem when in either GNOME or KDE. I had it when I installed FreeBSD 4.7 RELEASE & still have it after updating (tracking STABLE), using CVSup. A reboot is all that will get things back on track for me. I know how to kill moused but I am not sure how to restart it within or without X from the command line (which I might be able to reach without a mouse, right?)... I suppose I could exit X, kill moused, restart it, then get back into X, but I'd still need to know how to run moused (OK, I'm sounding lame now). Just in case you need it: - My Hardware: Compaq Evo N150 Laptop 800MHz Intel Celeron CPU Upgraded to 320MB RAM, (when purchased) Uname -a: FreeBSD furriebox.furrie.net 4.7-STABLE FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE #1: Sun Jan 5 19:39:40 GMT 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/FURRIEBOX i386 Can anybody point me in the right direction for maybe a some logs that I can peruse to see if anything obvious is afoot? I'm a fan of RTFM but could do with a helpful nudge in the right direction... PS. It's become increasingly hard to compose this email as the damn thing has done it again :-( If I'm a bit light on required information, just let me know. Many thanks in advance (if nothing else, for having the patience to read this post!)
