Re: [TCLUG:7874] Mouse pointer freezes

[Ben Kochie <ben@nerp.net>]

yea.. i had similar problem.. once or twice..  debian with
gnome/xscreensaver... actualy.. the mouse was fine, but xscreensaver was
broken.  best way to get out of it is to ctrl-alt-backspace to kill your X
server.

Thank You,
        Ben Kochie (ben@nerp.net)
