I've experienced the same exact thing but under Solaris 2.5 and CDE on an RDI Sparcbook. The windows seem to lock (as if NUM lock were on in Xfree) and the mouse buttons don't work correctly. Sometimes everything will return to normal and I'll get a few tens of messages saying the same thing: Warning: Select failed; error code 22 I narrowed down the problem to a faulty real-time clock on the Sparcbook. Sometimes it stops ticking (I can see this from Open Boot Prom) and that's when everything gets weird (which is what you'd expect!). When the clock starts ticking again, the above warning messages spew out. Gotta bad clock? Dan Eischen deischen@iworks.InterWorks.org
