In Xfce, I was looking at the settings for the mouse and clicked the
button to turn it off. Now the cursor sits in the middle of the screen and I have very
few options for control. A few pop ups with the function keys but logout is the only
useful one. Is there a key combination that will activate the arrow keys to move the
cursor so I can pull down the menus and switch the mouse back on?
Aside from what I said....
You can also ssh into the system, if you can, and edit the file...
~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/pointers.xml
find the appropriate line
<property name="Device_Enabled" type="int"
value="0"/>
and change the value to "1"
