Keyboard and mouse stuck

[pnbalaji]

Hi,

I have been using Sabayon for the past couple of months and it is great.

However, I have a problem when working with a wireless mouse. Things work fine for some time, then suddenly the mouse and keyboard operations stuck for some time. I cannot do an Alt-tab or click anything with the mouse. I am not sure why this is happening. When I do a Ctrl-Alt-tab, I get a message saying "Cannot grab mouse pointer. Mouse pointer already grabbed" and it fixes the issue some times, but not always.

Can some one help me on trouble shooting this? I looked at /var/log/messages, /varlog/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/lxdm.log, but not sure what to look for specifically.

Thanks,
Balaji.

Is this with SL in a virtual machine, or SL installed to the HDD? Also, does it happen with a specific application, or any application?

I installed SL on the HDD on my laptop. It is not happening with all applications and I am not sure which exact application is causing it. I did read several similar posts on several different forums and it appears to be a defect in GTK2. So, I am guessing this could be caused by a GTK app when using the wireless mouse.

Thanks,
Balaji.
