Apparently, there is a limit in the mouse cable length: a 1.8 m extension cable works but a 10 m one does not. Is there a workaround?
Configuration: Logitech PS2 mouse, SuperMicro P4DCE motherboard. Two mice and two 10 m cables tested. Both the keyboard and monitor work OK with 10 m extension cables.
In my case, I'll probably move the furniture and use the 1.8 m extension cable but for an other computer I may need a 20 m extension cable.
I don't think it's OS specific (SuSE 8.1 is installed there) but I haven't tested it.
Is your mouse an optical ? If so, chances are it will indeed not work, wheel mice seem to have problems as well (middle button clcik does not get passed through, left and right work fine). Best solution (IMO) is to buy a cordless mouse , or an amplifier (black box and others sell those extension boxes, which allow you to have something like a 100m mouse cable). Still Im curious why you would need a 20m mouse cable ..
