When I press Ctrl and moving with mouse (e.g. opening link in mozilla-tab, multiselection in a list) the mouse randomly but often (4 times per hour) freezes. Then I must switch to another console (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and back (Ctrl+Alt+F7) to release the mouse. To reproduce: ------------- 1) press Ctrl key 2) circle mouse around screen ERROR: the mouse freezes (usually in 10 sec.) $ X -version Release Date: 18 December 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.7 Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.21-14.ELsmp i686 [ELF] Current Operating System: Linux martin-ws.rest.removed.com 2.6.5-1.358 #1 Sat May 8 09:04:50 EDT 2004 i686 Build Date: 07 May 2004 Build Host: tweety.build.redhat.com Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.X.Org to make sure that you have the latest version.

Sorry for my impatience but can someone to evaluate this bug. I would like to know is worth to wait for a fix or return back to the XFree branch. Thanks for any response.
Ah, we can reproduce something like that. We added this comment in another thread: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2345 However this thread seems more relevant. Common symptoms: * Must press Ctrl key to reproduce the mouse freeze. * Switching virtual consoles releases the mouse. Other than that, we reproduce that only with Fedora 2, not Red Hat 9, but we run the "native" X server on Red Hat 9 (XFree86 4.3.0), not Xorg. We also see similar things in the logs: (WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such device) (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1600x1200" (II) Mouse0: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded However this is printed when switching consoles to restore the mouse, *not* at the moment the mouse freezes, and this seems harmless anyway (APM is missing but that's to be expected). Again, any clue on how to proceed to track down the problem?
Do you still experience this issue with a current version of xorg?
No, in Version 6.8.2 I cannot reproduce it any more.
thanks for following up
