Thks, Scott, this sounds like a nice workaround. I will try it next time
mouse dies. However, gpm is disabled here -- I thought it could have
something to do with this problem. I guess this (switching back and
forth from console) won't work without gpm, right? Anyway, I will try
starting up gpm when I switch to console.
As I said on a previous post, I am now trying XFree's own "nv" driver
instead of NVidia's, to try to narrow down the cause of the problem.
Let's see what happens...
Best,
Andre
