I have the same problem with SuSE 7.1. Intermittant, but some days are worse than others... The funny thing is that my RH 6.2 machine never has these problems. It just keep on going and that is freaking me out.... I have the Belkin Omni View SE 4-port(using 2 banks). And that kvm seem to work without the power supply. But I lost the mouse more often like that. Speaking of the devil, I just lost my mouse typing these few lines... Loosing the mouse without switching channel/bank are quite annoying. Especially when the X-server once and a while restarts while doing the tty1 -> tty7 thing... Cheers, Magnus Thomas Bishop wrote:

I am using a multiple servers with a KVM switch and I find that I lose control of my mouse as I return back to the SUSE 8.0 KDE. Are any you experiencing the same thing. I have tried other mice and different KVM switches.
-I am using a Belkin KVM switch with hot key functionality for changing monitors. -I am using PS/2 mice
The only way I can stablize the mouse is if I return to YAST 2 and try to re-configure the mouse when it is a problem... Otherwise I have been rebooting to get the mouse stability.
This seems to be an *intermittant* problem for me, too. I usually just ctrl-alt-Fx before I switch from my linux box, and alt-F7 when I switch back., and everything is fine. This problem also existed with 7.2, depending on which machine I happened to be switching to, and what it was running. Switching to and from Win98 is *usually* not a problem. I am not using a Belkin, just a cheesemaster generic KVM switch. Sorry I'm not more help. Tom
