Re: [9fans] Video and mouse problems

Of course.  D'Oh.  It's going to take a while for me to really *believe* 
that random P9 systems will act the same way remotely :-)

Now if only that had identified some sort of driver change that broke me...

Is there anything else that would hijack my cursor and leave it in the 
upper left?  I was really hoping to kill my video issue with the same 
stone :-(

Thanks,
    Paul
