[arachne] ArachneLinux 1.66 1.93 mouse

Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

I'm having mouse trouble using Arachne for Linux (svgalib), in 1.66b as well as in 1.93. This is what happens: Arachne starts; I move the mouse around with no problems for about half a minute; then suddenly the mouse cursor stops moving. At the same time a message 'Can't create mouse thread' appears at the command line level. Not just the mouse slows down (eventually it moves a little bit); the response to my keyboard is slow as well. I'm forced to shut down arachne and start again. Looking at the sources, I found that this message originates from the linglue.c program.
Does anybody out here know why this happens?

Cheers,

Arend Wegelin (Arachne fan as of july 2008).
