I have had this little nagging problem of my mouse pointer/cursor pointing about 3 mm to the right of its actual (active) location for about 9 mounths (since I first installed XF86 on my linux OS). What this means is I have to have a trained eye when I want to cut-and-paste (start slightly to the right) or when I want to drag a scroll-bar. First I thought it might have been a bug in in the XF86 version of openwin, but it is the same in fvwm too. Does anyone know how to correct for this? Or calibrate it out? Just another little nag/nuisance :-( Thanks in advance home X'ers - --Steve Cahill
