Dear Everybody,

I have finally upgraded from Mandrake 7.0 to SuSE 8.0 and I LOVE IT! However, all is not paradise. For some reason my mouse cursor and the place on my screen where the GUI thinks my mouse cursor is occasionally not the same place! It always offsets the two so the mouse cursor is always about an icon's width to the right of where the GUI thinks it is. Also every time I boot up I'm about 15min off of the correct time. If anyone has experienced this (or better yet has fixed this ^_^ ) please let me know.

P.S. I tried switching to init runlevel 3 but logging out of KDE 3.0 to the command line and then back into KDE 3.0 don't fix the problem.

For setting the time just use
/usr/bin/rdate -s 132.163.4.101
I put mine in the root crontab
and run it every hour. My machine loses about one minute per day.
PC clocks are lousy! :)
