This problem happened to me at least a couple time when I installed X with different mice. I've got several boxes running thru a KVM switch and using the PS/2 protocol and use: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" EndSection I'm using ctwm, not KDE, but this ought have nothing to do with the mouse-at-top-of-screen. IIRC, the problem happened as soon as xlogin screen appeared and after I touched the mouse. > > Kent > > -- > Kent Stewart > Richland, WA > > http://users.owt.com/kstewart/index.html > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
