mouse cursor erratic behavior; top or bottom of screen

2010-07-21 Thread Wendell Nichols
Twice this week my mouse cursor has become unresponsive and moved (in little jerks) to either the top or the bottom of the screen. I've had to boot to get out of it. Has anyone else seen this? It affects all mouses (bluetooth, usb, and builtin synamptic). wcn -- users mailing list users@lists.

My Lenovo T61p has started shutting down randomly (usually in the middle of the night). There is nothing in the logs, and the temperatures have all been stable. I'm not getting any "kernel crash" records. How can I find out whats shutting the system down? Its always possible that its hardware

I'm running Fedora 10 with the gnome desktop. I installed the mpd (music player daemon) on my file server (where all the music lives) and gmpc on my laptop. These things come from rpmfusion. Every sound application on my machine is able to make noise except gmpc. It doesn't have a config pane

My fedora 10 laptop routinely "freezes". That means the menu's and applications don't respond to mouse clicks. After a few seconds (or sometimes many seconds) it frees up and works normally again. If I look at the cpu consumption graph I can see that something had the processer pegged at 100

I use Fedora on a thinkpad T61p. Most things are good, but when I'm away from my desk using it on my lap I find that many movements on the touchpad cause the desktop to rapidly cycle through apps on the desktop. All of these are accidents but I just can't keep from accidentally striking the s
