I've got a Compaq the does pretty much the same thing. The touchpad does not work so i plug a usb mouse into it. when it goes into standby or when the screen shuts off the mouse cursor disappears in X. I think the cursor still moves when moving the mouse because i can see some buttons raise when it goes over them. to get it back i just go to a terminal by hitting ctl+alt+F1 and then back to X again and that resolves it until the next powersaving cycle. This is all running redhat 7.3 with kde 3 Jared Burns (jared-linux at mn.rr.com) wrote: > Hola. > > I've got an IBM A30 laptop running Mandrake 8.2.
