Hi All, Has anybody else had a mouse/keyboard get locked after the screensaver has been activated and deactivated? I returned to my system last night after an hour or two with the screensaver running. I moved my mouse and my KDE desktop reappeared, sans pointer. It wasn't a case where the pointer was invisible, as no motion in any direction caused the focus to shift on the desktop. Likewise, randomly clicking and right-clicking the mouse buttons yielded nothing. I navigated between virtual desktops and running programs using the keyboard to close everything down in an orderly fashion. I then switched to tty1 (Ctl+Alt+F1) logged in as root, ran 'init 3' then 'init 5' and logged back in. Both the keyboard and mouse were working again. It happened again the next time the screensaver was activated. This time I lost the mouse *and*... progressively... the keyboard. It seemed as though I had just enough keystrokes remaining to close KMail but it then rapidly lost function. At that point I was 'frozen' at the desktop with no working mouse or keyboard. I ssh'd in from another system, logged as root and repeated the 'init 3' - 'init 5' sequence. I was able to log back into my desktop and the keyboard and mouse were working again. I shut down and booted into 10.0 to get some work done and haven't had a problem since. In case it matters: The keyboard is 'vanilla' PS2 and the mouse USB with scroll wheel (no problems from 9.0 through 10.0) Troubleshooting ideas and/or similar problems, anyone?
