Anyone > know how to fix this? That depends on which version of FreeBSD you're running. On earlier versions you had to reboot. More recent versions can recover by themselves. In case of doubt, stop X and restart it. This normally happens when you lose a number of interrupts, either because the system is overloaded or because you disconnected the mouse. In the latter case, "don't do that, then". In the former case, if you find the mouse is reacting very sluggishly, usually an indication of heavy interrupt load, don't use it until the interrupt load drops a bit.

There are all sorts of coincidences. But the monitor frequency doesn't have anything to do with this problem. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
