hi
problem here is that after using the desktop for some time, i can't click on things anymore with the mouse cursor. the cursor still moves, but can't interact with the desktop anymore. pressing alt/tab key-combination makes it work ok again. anyone have the same issue?
YES! It coincided with switching out my motherboard/CPU from an Athlon to a Pentium D 805, so I was thinking it was probably a hardware issue. I'm relieved someone else is having the same problem. I'm also having a problem with my USB keyboard in that single key presses are being repeated several times (i.e., I type 'y' and see 'yyyyy' show up in the terminal). Also, occasionaly when I plug in a USB hard drive, my mouse and keyboard both become unresponsive and very jerky.
I don't have any idea what's causing it, but I'd be happy to be a test subject to resolve it. -- _ Ben Steeves bcs@metacon.ca ( ) The ASCII ribbon campaign ben.steeves@unb.ca X against HTML e-mail GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 / \ http://www.metacon.ca/ascii Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves
