I just put this together this morning a problem I have been having for a while where my scroll wheel on my mouse hooked to my kvm switch will quit working after I make a switch from one computer to another an back again to first machine. If I reboot the machine it will scroll til i switch to another machine again. Using a two port belkin switch here on this end of the work bench. Using a kensington turboball mouse. I need to hook the spare turboball up to my conectgear 4 port switch on other end of work bench an see if the same things happens with it. Just wondering if anyone else here on the list has this problem an has solved it. thanks jack

It's a common problem and I don't know of a fix.

Possible solution is to switch to a terminal window and back again. Ctrl+Alt+F1 then Ctrl+Alt+F7 A bit of a hassle but easier than rebooting. -- Regards, Graham Smith

If that doesn't work, try Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. That should reset your X-Windows environment and log you out. :( Again, bad, but better than a reboot. FYI: I have a similar problem in that my whole mouse becomes uncontrollable after I switch PCs with my KVM. I find that if I just leave the mouse untouched for a minute or so it will start working. The trouble is that I tend to try and use it during that early period and it causes random button clicks!!! Greg -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century

That worked with the 2.4 kernel, but not 2.6.

I have a Belkin OmniView rig that uses scroll lock to switch between systems... You need to demap the scroll lock key.
