I cannot get my mouse to work properly through my Linksys 4-port PS/2 KVM switch. If I login as root, the mouse jumps everywhere and opens up everything anywhere just by moving it. [snip] If I boot Windows instead, there's no trouble either. Any ideas?
This sounds like the longstanding problem with nvidia graphics cards - does your computer have such a card? If so, just restart the X server (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) and it gets another chance to work. FWIW, I found that using the nv drivers (rather than the nvidia ones) stopped the problem occurring anything like as often (although it sometimes still does). The big test, though, is whether this setup (linux system and mouse) works properly without the switch box in place. The would at least eliminate the box as a possible source of the problem.
