If I'm lucky, I can switch to a terminal window and issue a /etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm restart and get the mouse back. Otherwise I have to Ctrl-Alt-Backspace the X-server and lose anything I might have open. I've had no problems with losing my mouse at all. However, someone mentioned using KDE > something > Keyboard (I'm in windows right now) Anyway, the keyboard option only asks me for the generic keyboard type (English, etc) there are no options for any individual keys. I'm still looking for a way to set it on. A configuration file or something. - - - - - I want to have three cats named Fred: Deep Fred French Fred Stir Fred Lokrin (TechAss) Technical Assailant http://lokrin.net - - - - --- Outgoing male is certified Virus Free.
