This may well be an upstream issue; I have recently begun to encounter the same problem on a RHEL 5.1 workstation, using Synergy and nVidia binary packages from rpmforge (synergy-1.3.1-2.el5.rf, nvidia-x11-drv-1.0.9755-1.nodist.rf). I first started seeing this issue last week, after a reboot; unfortunately I'm not sure off the top of my head which packages I had recently updated. Before last week the desired behavior (the display waking from sleep upon mouse movement) was present. -steve -- If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction. - Fabian, Twelfth Night, III,v
