My optical mouse has suddenly died for the 2nd time in both kde and X on a new computer running 64-bit AMD FreeBSD 7.0. This is the second time this mouse has died this way (last time was when I was using the mouse on a different AMD 64-bit computer running X/kde onOpenBSD). Cycling power and rebooting the computer does not revive the mouse. Assuming (dangerous, I know :-) ) that the mouse is not broken, where in the X code might the mouse be 'turned off' and how, (if that has been done) would I turn it back on? Also, is there a way to simulate the mouse commands using the keyboard when the mouse becomes catatonic? I hate to have to keep using ctl-alt-bksp to abort X. Thanks, Dave Feustel
