Hello,

I've recently upgraded two PCs to a recent snapshots (4.0-20000710-STABLE)
with the new make world / make kernel procedure (from a 4.0-Release install).

From the associated ports tree, I've compiled and installed XFree86 4.01 and KDE 1.1.2

When I switch from X-Windows to the text console and then back to X-windows (Ctrl-Alt-F1,
then Alt-F9), the mouse pointer is fixed on the screen (When I move the "physical" mouse, the
pointer stays at the same place on the X screen).

This happens with both KDE and twm as window managers.

I have installed XFree 3.3.6, also from the ports, and the switching from X to the text console
and back works as expected - so I use this version.

I'm using the system moused (moused_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf)

     TfH

PS :
