     That maybe the case, (though, I don't think so) but I am able to login and
     click on the xdm login screen and move the mouse around... Perhaps, after
     the login, which is when the error happens, some application is looking for
     the mouse and can't find it. Nonetheless, if the starting xdm
    screen/window
     can see and use the mouse, shouldn't every other application called from
     within xdm also be able to recognize and utilize the mouse?

     Let's stop this one here. I already uninstalled it. :-) But I am finding
     that kdm is, perhaps, having the same problem. I can't see the error, but
     after the login screen, the same sequence of events which xdm followed
    after
     the login are also being executed by kdm. Or is it kde?
