What brand of KVM switch, out of curiosity? I have a Belkin 4-port switch, and when I used it to switch between a windows and a debian machine, the windows machine was perfectly happy, but the mouse pointer freaked out on the debian machine. I ended up having to log out to whatever-dm and back in again, or something stupid. My understanding is that certain other KVM switches don't have this problem, but I don't know which. > ----------------------------------------- Please leave this.
