      Hello guys!

      First things first:
      I'm using Linux Mint "Vanessa" (always updated). Notebook ASUS TUF Gaming F15. Logitech M185 Wireless mouse.

      Everything is fine with the cursor. I can work all day without any problems.
      But after exiting RetroPie, when the notebook goes into sleep-/suspend-mode or after re-opening the lid, the mouse cursor moves to the top of the screen. All the time and non-stop.

      The only way to stop this is to turn off the machine in the hard way.

      It happens after using RetroPie only so I think there must be a problem with it.

      Any ideas?
      Thank you.

        Once you close EmulationStation, there's nothing RetroPie specific that's running on your desktop.
        Run xev and see what's moving the cursor.

            Why ? Just run xev and see what happens, maybe we can help.

              It's very hard to save the screenshot and I think there are no useful informations!?

                Not that much info to diagnose, would have expected to see the source of events. Do you have any other applications running (maybe minimized) when resuming from sleep ?

                  @mitu There is only Surfshark VPN (not connected), Apache2, PHP and MySQL.
                  My OS is very clean.

                    so there is no solution for this issue?
                    Any idea where else I can ask?

                      I don't have any other idea at the moment.
