It is > completely impossible to move the pointer of the mouse out of this corner. The first thing to try is to kill gpm (gpm -k) prior to launching startx. Although I personally havnen't had any difficulties between them, I understand that gpm and X don't always get along.

Do a "man XF86Config" to see what the other valid options are. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
