Yes, I have the problem too, however the only way I can recover the mouse is to reinstall SuSE!...what a pain. I'm on a Dell notebook latitude c640 with a USB mouse. Given that I don't think it has to do with Nvidia(I'm running ATI). I believe it kernel releated to USB. This notebook/mouse ran clean SuSE 7.3, 8.0, 8.2, problem showed up in 9.0, 9.1 still around with 9.2, Debian sarge donesn't have this problem....joe On Wed, 2005-01-12 at 00:33 +0000, peter Nikolic wrote:

Hi!
I have a randomly occuring problem on my suse 9.2 (fully patched via YOU and upgraded to KDE 3.3.2 via yast/supplementary updates).
What happens is that my mouse cursor disappears sometimes, and the system stops responding to any mouse events. It happens rather rarely and on random, so I can not reproduce this, nor to guess about possible causes. Other than this, system works stably and reliably, with long uptimes.
When I restart X, all goes fine again. Mouse cursor shows up and everything works as normal. But, I use my suse as a desktop/office machine and it is very annoying when you have to close and restart everything in the middle of your work...
Is this seen by other members of the list? Are there possible explanations or solutions, maybe?
I hope at least that there might be some kind of workaround (like restarting some process, initiating system to scan and discover the mouse again or such...), but was not able to find anything useful on my own...
Any kind of help, please...
TIA

I am having similar problems here
It seems to be linked to the Nvidia drivers and certain GL screen savers if i use the Fireworks 3D (GL) screen saver i get the lockups of the mouse cursor if i Ctrl+Tab to the next desktop all is ok again mouse everyting if it then go back to the desktop with Control Center open on it with the Fireworks 3D screensaver highlited it locks again until i can nudge the mouse a bit at a time to select another saver .
Runnig Nvidia FX5200 128Mb suse 9.2 KDE 3.3.2 the latest Nvidia drivers have also tried the previous driver still the same .
I believe it may be kernel related to the 2.6.8-24.10-default kernel i have not backdated to a previous kernel yet not had time anyone tried yet interested to see if it sorts it out .
