Description mrbowen 2002-03-04 16:18:50 UTC 
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kwin
Version:           KDE 2.2.1 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

When I load KDE from my graphical login program if I do not move the mouse a little durring the spalsh screen the mouse freezes in the middle of the screen and I cannot move it anymore.  Without the mouse I cannot really use KDE and I have to switch to a text login and halt the system.  This happens on every boot if I don't move the mouse.

That sounds very much like a problem with either your mouse driver or your X
server. KDE can't control the mouse movement in any way.

Did you try to start some other desktop environment and not KDE? Does that 
still happen?
