Hi,

I've installed dsl fine and in record time on my slow laptop, after playing around with fluxbox I have noticed I can no longer move or resize manually any windows with my mouse.

Does anyone have a solution to this ?

Sorry if this is a daft question but I am trying to convert from windows xp but still have a lot to learn about linux, your help would be appreciated.

note: I have installed the enhanced HD install from the livecd.
I can maximize and minimize windows just not move or resize them from the position they open in.

Have you tried Alt+drag?
May be obvious, but Alt+left_mouse is move, and Alt+right_mouse is resize.
I haven't tried 0.7.3 yet, so maybe something's messed up.

I thought it might be (due to the cursor changes on screen). I had tried alt-left mouse and right mouse as you suggest. Sorry forgot to mention this.

For some reason though it just causes the windows to flicker and not move, any ideas ?
