I have a not-strictly-PS/2 mouse, as I have just found out by tracing the cable. This is a Logitech USB mouse (well, trackball, actually) with a PS/2 adapter that goes into a KVM switch (Omniview 2-port KVM switch). The KVM switch connects a Linux and a Windows machine. When I reboot, the mouse is OK in the one that is switched to (either Windows or Linux), but jumps and hops erratically when moved on the other, whichever it is. So, this tells me that is definitely has to do with the KVM; however, it's not quite that simple, either.
In all cases, on reboot- whichever computer is selected, the mouse is OK. So, you may ask, why not reboot one, switch to the other, and reboot it? This works for Windows, boot Windows, and you can switch back and forth, and the Windows mouse stays happy. But with Linux, however, if you boot with Linux selected on the KVM, it is OK, but if you switch to Windows and back again, the Linux mouse is all screwed up again. So, at best, every time I switch to Windows and back again, I have to reboot Linux. Is there any way to even debug this? I'd hate to find a situation where WinDoze is more stable than Linux! Any help I could get solving this problem would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, anw -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
