Hey, I just "solve" the problem. Or actually I RTFM... This is what you should do: http://web.belkin.com/support/faq_qa.asp?pid=190&cid=1 I used the old PS/2 driver with an old mouse. So I changes the mouse to a new one (supporting the IMPS/2) and I'm now happilly switching... Cheers, Magnus

Q: Linux mouse problems A: Close gpm (the thing that does mouse for console apps) and also change the XF86Config mouse section to be as below. Try to wait a few seconds after switching before moving the mouse. # ********************************************************************** # Pointer section # ********************************************************************** Section "Pointer" Protocol "IMPS/2" Device "/dev/mouse" Buttons 3 # Buttons 5 # ZAxisMapping 4 5 # When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment # the following line. # Protocol "Xqueue" # Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice # BaudRate 9600 # SampleRate 150 # Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice # Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms) # Emulate3Buttons # Emulate3Timeout 50 # ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice # ChordMiddle <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Kenneth J.

Dear Magnus Hagebris and List,
I also use two banks of Belkin Omni View SE4-port KVM switches. My first bank is quite stable and has no problem with losing mouse control. However, the second bank (one SuSE Box running 6.4/7.1/7.2/7.3/8.0 and one Win98 box) is quite unpredictable. Some days it works fine and other days looses mouse control after only a few minutes. Both boxes on the second bank lose mouse control, though not always at the same time, so OS does not seem to be the primary issue. When the second bank boxes lose mouse control, I sometimes run a separate mouse directly to one of the boxes until the system settles down. Such is life in the Belkin world I guess. :--)
Respectfully, Ken Becker

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

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 >
