First before my problem

HUGE kudo's for this program AND Dosbox Game Launcher, between the two it makes the old games a lot more fun.

I was just starting to try out Dosbox and various config files and in an apt-upgrade I seem to have lost my mouse. It shows for a moment and then heads to the bottom right and stays there until I Ctrl-f10 to release it

In games that use keyboard cursors (Doom, Monkey Island etc) I'm fine

OS is Ubuntu upgraded to Edgy.

I'm sure this is something simple I just don;t seem to have stumbled across it either here or in the Ubuntu forums.

Sounded logical to me

checked and it was set to the default 2axis. I reset it to none. and unfortunately it had no effect.

'preciate the effort though!

problem solved?

I've been reading thru the old forums (back 35 pages so far) and not sure what triggered the idea but

undid Autolock on mouse and voila I have mouse control back! And it's actually better than I was hoping in that I can move the mouse off the window without having to Alt-F10.

Again very cool program guys
