Yes it does still happen although I have found a slightly nicer workaround. I am now running Gutsy here and if it helps here are some syslog extracts:
Reloading the kernel module with: #modprobe -r psmouse #modprobe psmouse Gives the following: Dec 11 09:19:47 len NetworkManager: <debug> [1197364787.754732] nm_hal_device_removed(): Device removed (hal udi is /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input'). Dec 11 09:19:48 len kernel: [68553.988000] input: PS/2 Generic Mouse as /class/input/input9 Dec 11 09:19:48 len NetworkManager: <debug> [1197364788.064945] nm_hal_device_added(): New device added (hal udi is '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input'). and I still have no mouse cursor, but pressing reset on the kvm switch (better than unplugging but still awkward) gives: Dec 11 09:21:06 len NetworkManager: <debug> [1197364866.597000] nm_hal_device_removed(): Device removed (hal udi is '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input').

Dec 11 09:21:07 len kernel: [68633.108000] input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse as /class/input/input10 and I do get the mouse back. If any other info would help then please ask and I'll do my best to be rather quicker responding this time. -- Mouse disappears after kvm switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111786 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
