I do not know what could be the problem, but if I restart the machine, I get the functionality back. I use the scroll ability and learned to cut and paste using xterm only. It is then when I lose the functionality. I right click and or left-click and I cannot switch from browser to xterm. I have to shutdown browser open xterm and then close it. I want to copy from a terminal and paste, and when I switch to firefox from the terminal I cannot see mouse pointer. I then have to use alt* keys to logout because mouse gets lost. Do I send a script with output from grepping mouse?
