Because of the behavior, I do not see how I could approach diagnosis, even if I had a clue what to do.
Sometime, wiggling the mouse cursor a bit makes the mouse responsive for a few seconds. When that doesn't work, sometimes letting it sit for a half hour or so frees it. Sometimes only the reset button does anything,
How can I deal with this problem?
What Ishould have mentioned at the beginning is that the problem began two days ago in a less severe level, and has gradually deteriorated. Its condition at present is that: 1) The mouse never moves, but is stuck permanently in the middle of the screen 2) There is another OS on the box, an older one. The mouse doesn't move on it either. Booting from a live OS is no better; the mouse is stuck in it as well. But there are no problems in booting -- oS v11.3 or the others comes up withoug difficulty, and one doesn't know that there is a problem until trying to move the mouse cursor. Although it is clearly a hardware problem, I have no idea what it is that is failing. If someone can speculate on the location of the malfunction, that might be very helpful. Tomorrow I will take it to the service shop, where I doubt that the Windows techs will be any clearer than me about all this. In the absence of a better solution, I'll probably just buy a new motherboard. This one, after all, is nine years old. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
