A small but perfectly formed gathering - Keith, Syd, Mark and Paul. Very interesting and enjoyable natter ensued.
Because of many and various other monthly events (NPCUG, RUNG, PLUG), I propose that the meets be on the seconfd thursday of each month from now on.
Next Norwich evening meet on thursday 10th July. Still some debate about the venue - to be confirmed.
Regards Syd
This may be old hat, but I just installed 9.1; there appears to be a problem with X. Clicking the cursor blanks a small square around it which persists.
I did a quick search couldn't find any mention of the problem.

Um...... are you sure it is X or just the window manager?

It sounds like an X problem if it happens everywhere and not just on, say, KDE apps. Time to go play with some XF86Config options for your card.
I'm currently having the problem where the screen gets corrupted if it goes to sleep. I probably need to go play with options too, but I've not done that with XFree86 4.3 yet.
MJ : Your screen corruption problem .. are you running apmd? I know this causes similar problems on RH after sleep... I'm wondering if it does the same on Mandrake?

Ahem, I've changed the subject: I don't use Mandrake but the original poster did. When I say my screen gets dots and stripes and stuff after it goes to sleep, I mean that it happens when X "screensaves" with DPMS blanking. I don't have apmd or acpid running.
As I said, it's probably some option that is set wrongly. Focus on the other guy's problem mouse click problem, as that sounds more bizarre. I'll be back with mine with proper info on what card, driver and options if I can't fix it. I just wanted to suggest playing with the options a bit: I don't think you can do harm with them?

To be honest the only option in that area that can do hardware damage is the display refresh rates. Even then most modern monitors will shut down if the settings are two far adrift........hey you were promising yourself a fancy new 17" TFT anyway :o)
