In the last few days, the mouse has become erratic and in fact dies after a bit of usage. When KDE fires up, and I'm presented with the login dialogue, the mouse will work for a few seconds, up to 30 say, then it freezes. If I get in quick and enter the username/password, the mouse pointer will change from the black login pointer to a slightly different shaped white pointer and then freeze. The login process will continue and present me with my environment, but no mouse. A Cntl-Alt-Del will bring up the Log out/shutdown/restart dialogue and I can use the keyboard to select either shutdown or restart. The thing that is "freaky" is that this happens if the laptop is running from batteries. If I have the machine plugged into the wall, this problem does not exist. Has anyone come across a problem like this? Any thoughts, greatly appreciated. Andrew
