Slack 9.1, KDE
Pentium 4, very new Intel Mobo, USB mouse with adapter to PS2 port, Samsung
172 N LCD monitor.

Probably not a Slack problem but someone might know the answer. If monitor
is off and machine is started and then monitor is turned on, the mouse
pointer does not work. Keyboard works, not not mouse.

If I cold start start with monitor on, all is well.

Any idea why this happens. Just curious.

That's just wierd. It'd be like me telling you every time my pen is
sitting on my desk pointing towards the TV, the TV won't turn on. If
the pen isn't on the desk, or if it points away from the TV, the TV
works fine.

That is... I've *never* heard of such a problem in my many years of
hardware troubleshooting. :-)

Perhaps pgp is interfering with your reception? If so you should
remove the pgp apparatus from your operating system. Note that
inline pgp violates both usenet convention and this ng's policy and
it is butt-ugly as well. Please show some respect for the other
posters by putting pgp either in your headers or in a mime
attachment.

Thank you.
