Greetings, all. I've scoured the mailing list archives to no avail. Apologies if I've overlooked an obvious answer contained therein. I've run various releases of 3.X (no PAO) on my Sony VAIO 505-TR for 9 months with great success. I've just installed 4.0-RELEASE, and it's behaving rather well, modulo the usual "learn the new names for the kernel config options" sort of thing. Except... There is a very subtle problem with my mouse. I use the psm driver, sysmouse, and XFree86 3.3.6. Additionally, I compile my kernel with apm, and with options PSM_HOOKRESUME and PSM_RESETAFTERSUSPEND. The mouse works great under X (XF86_SVGA server). Until I suspend and resume a few times. At that point, I begin to observe that the "Control-" menus in my xterms (that is, those which are accessed while holding down the Control key, to change font size and xterm options) stop working. More specifically, the menus are *activated* just fine--they appear with the appropriate key-mouse combination. But as I drag the pointer down the menu, the items are not highlighted, such that I cannot select any of them. (Makes turning on the scrollbar impossible, argh.) Exiting X and restarting fixes the problem. This always happens after a few suspend/resume cycles. The closest thing I could find in mailing list archives was a mention of NumLock as an X modifier. This isn't my problem; I've played with NumLock endlessly, to no avail. What's more, all other "click, hold down, drag" menus work fine (e.g., the right-click menu in Netscape), and it's my impression that I'd have seen the X key modifier problem in an earlier XFree86 release than 3.3.6. Has anyone out there seen this behavior? I suspect XFree86 3.3.6 and the 4.0 apm and psm drivers, but haven't tried to narrow it down further. I may revert to an earlier 3.3.X X server to see if I can rule that out.
