I also get the mouse gone wild problem intermittently with a Belkin KVM and SuSE 9.2. Rebooting Linux usually solves it, but I had assumed that it was a problem with the Belkin; this thread implies that it may be a software problem. I will try the kernel
Then I KVM switch and mess about on the other machine. When I want to go back to 9.0, I switch the KVM and restart X by Ctrl+backspace. The mouse is then fine on the 9.0 box.
I do similar here, in that when I switch back to Linux, I switch to a text console and back to the desktop. However, while this works in SuSE 9.0, it doesn't in 9.1 or 9.2. I've got a Protec BYTELAN switch.
This problem appears unique to Linux. I've never seen it happen in OS/2 or Windows.
Hi, Does this prob act differently if you ONLY SWITCH SYSTEMS via the button on the KVM panel? I find that the Belkin "Scroll lock 'til beep, then up or down arrow" or "Scroll lock 'til beep, then upper row numeric key (1 - 4) has subtle differences.
