I'm running RH6.0 on a VMware virtual machine on an NT4 box. Install went swimmingly (thanks to all those who recommended VMware btw...), but after I got X running and started trying to tweak stuff, it started locking up. Well, maybe it's X. maybe it's just my mouse. I'll be working along in a couple different terminal windows, suddenly I'll be unable to use my mouse. I can move the pointer icon around, but it will not select, resize, etc. Basically it's like it doesn't exist. I can still type, and if I escape out of the vm to my NT desktop my mouse is working fine there, but is still "lost" when I get back to my vm. So far in VMware I haven't (bothered) to figure out how to swtich between virtual terminals so that I might see any pertinent errors. ctrl+alt+ - (or is it + -- I've tried all those combos) does not seem to be letting me get out of X either. So basically this message is a cry for hints on where to start troubleshooting! (or, depending on responses, a sign from a higher power that I need to forget X and stick with the beloved CLI.) ~~~Nicoya... _______________________________________________ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
