Peep Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 this could just happen in phoenix because that's the app i use the most often... but sometimes i'll find my mouse pointer gets stuck in a 90 degree angle shape (similar to the pointer used to resize windows at the corners, but without the arrow). you can't click on anything when the pointer is like this. this has happened in gnome, dke and icewm and on two different computers. is there any good way to get the pointer to reset itself? the best solution i've done is to ctrl-alt-F1, then init 3, init 5 to restart x... but there's probably a better way.

MottS Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 Well, maybe not what you are looking for but CTRL-ALT-F1, init 3 and init 5 is WAY too complicated man :wink:. Just press CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to restart X. The cursor should follow ... Never encountered that problem though... MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
