Occurs with both the fluxbox and twm window managers. The mouse cursor moves over the screen ok, just no "clicks" are being recognised. The mouse works fine on a local (non-vnc - gnome) X desktop as the same user. The mouse also works fine when under a remotely connected root vnc session - but this is not really desirable :) The clients are fine as I can log onto other servers ok as a user. Its probably a permissions problem, but where? BillK -- William Kenworthy Home! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
