I don't know about any program simulating a mouse. However, I know Icewm can move and resize windows using Alt-F7 and Alt-F8, respectively, by using the arrow keys. I'm sure some of the other window managers have similar behaviors. There have been discussions in the past about making a fake mouse so X would run without any mouse attached. You might search the archives if you're interested. -- /bin/sh ~/.signature: Command not found
