[Xastir] Fedora 12 Xastir curso problem

[George Karayannis]

Hi all,

I have a notion that this issue may have come up previously, in the
forum, however on various clean install Fedora 12 distros (2 native and
2 Virtualbox) [yum install] I have installed xastir but always get the
same issue with the cursor. After a little bit of time the xastir window
'grabs' the cursor, that actually reverses and gets a left to right
orientation, it cannot operate on any menus and actually stays confined
in the window.

On a native install I usually bring the the GUI down and kill xastir but
on the virtual machine that is impossible since the usual commands bring
down the host GUI.

On a recent CentOS 5.4 clean install (being a linux noob I was rather
impressed with meself both hihihi) xastir compiled nicely and works
non-stop on a remote networked box without any such issues. That is also
the case with my Ubuntu machines, leaving only F12 wanting.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated ( -h ), humanly understood,
since I confess my linux is nascent.

Btw I have moved from M$ to linux, last year, starting with Ubuntu, and
I have recently started digging the red hat variants (mind you I get
impressed when I get a nice compile or even that darn wireless on centos
hihi) and have thoroughly enjoyed the process, all my office - QTH
machines now are either primarily or at the very least dual boot linux,
leaving only my APRS igate on XP.

Sorry oh so sorry for the long post
