[kde-freebsd] mouse pointer woes

[David Southwell]

I am now finding the mouse pointer failing intermitently. The only way to 
restore mouse functionality is by a reboot. Ctrl Alt Backspace followed by 
startx does not restore pointer functionality. After boot up kde runs fine 
then without warning:

The mouse continues to function all the time But no visible pointer on the 
screen!!!. If the mouse moved and, guess where it is then click/double click 
work just fine.

Thanks in advance
