AFAIK mouse dragging only works to switch between virtual ones? > Please tell me I'm crazy and that it isn't really happenning... You're crazy and it isn't really happening. *grin* Seriously, Sawmill isn't the culprit (Listen people: server crashes are _never_ application bugs :) but it seems to point out this server bug better than anything else. If you could provide a gdb backtrace from a static server, that would be great, otherwise you could send the log and other useful information either here or maybe better to XFree86.
