Or is there some way of getting the

mouse back in a situation like this?

This should work as root:

/etc/conf.d/gpm restart'



uh... shouldn't that be /etc/init.d/? and gpm is the console mouse
manager no? I lost my mouse in X. It was fine in console.

Yes, you are correct, it's "/etc/init.d/gpm restart" [oopsie].

I was working in another distro and mounted gentoo to get the path.

That works in the distro, but when the mouse in that distro messes up in X, it makes the cursor go crazy in the virtual consoles as well. I haven't had that problem in gentoo, however.

It wouldn''t hurt anything to try, however (he said confidently). ;-}
