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?

Thanks,


Antonio
