[SOLVED] Mouse input process?

Post by KronicBratwurst »

I'm a pretty simplistic linux user- i don't really use much when it comes to the command line. So when the mouse input freezes now and again, and all i can do is use the keyboard, i don't know what process to kill in the terminal to get my mouse input working again. Can someone help me?

I'm not sure, but you might consider restarting the X server. Usually the key combination CTRL ALT BACKSPACE will accomplish this. Or try logging out and logging in again.
