11.3 upgrade= mouse frozen

Just upgraded to 11.3 from the terminal. There were a few hiccups, but it said to run “zypper verify,” and it downloaded a few files and finished. When I rebooted, the graphics were fine, but the arrow in the middle of the screen is frozen. I can move the mouse till I get carpal tunnel, but the arrow ain’t gion’ nowhere.
So how do I “unfreeze” my mouse?
(Besides knitting it a sweater!)
I’m hoping for a “ctrl/f2”, and that aterminal can be opened that way, with a command to wake up the mouse dameon.
Bet X skipped a beat.

Did you try un-plugging it and back in again?

Better than that! Rebooted into safe mode and ran “zypper up.” After a whole lotta’ files, rebooted and the mouse works!
Hope everything else does. I’ll find out in a minute.

Always a good solution, or if even safe graphics doesn’t do a level console login. Hope all goes well…
