A Freeze ?.
« on: September 02, 2013, 09:02:29 PM »
So if a Linux computer freezes why can you still move the mouse on the screen when everything else is locked up ?.   :hmm:

I guess it depends on what has actually frozen. The most likely cause of a seemingly total freeze of the GUI would be a misbehaving graphics driver, and it may still be able to process mouse movements but nothing else.
