When i do startx kde, and everything seem to work fine. But often the mouse just freezes and i can't click on anything, also when i open Mozilla Firefox everything around it is disoriented. I think it is a video card problem, I have a Intel Extreme Graphic card with 64 MB shared memory, i use the standard vga driver, because the driver for it is unstable. Please help
