[ltp] please help: redhat 7.1 on TP 600X

Tue, 29 May 2001 12:32:50 +0800

Though not directly usefull I have the same problem with RH7.1 in KDE on my A22m
thinkpad. (though, I can still use ctrl, alt, del to close the session. and
alt-F4 works still as well, but the mouse will only come back under my control
50% of the time. Very strange)
I have noticed that Gnome doesn't display the same problems.

You may want to check to see of you are running gpm, the text-console
mouse driver. If you are, make sure X uses /dev/gpmdata as it's mouse
device. If you are running gpm, and you're not using /dev/gpmdata,
you'll see exactly the behaviour you describe.
