I had similar problems with my kvm and changed to a completley mechanical setup and have found it works perfectly. I use two machines through it. One is xp ane is suse 9.2 and I don't have any hasles moving between the two. The set up takes more room on the desk but it does work. (Also some people think it will give me problems as the contacts in the mechs wear, but all set ups must have some method of picking up connections and so some moving parts; even if its only a button gong up and down) Chris. -----Original Message----- From: James Knott [mailto:james.knott@rogers.com] Sent: Sunday, 16 January 2005 9:23 AM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] Mouse problems in 9.2 Peter B Van Campen wrote:

I also get the mouse gone wild problem intermittently with a Belkin KVM and SuSE 9.2. Rebooting Linux usually solves it, but I had assumed that it was a problem with the Belkin; this thread implies that it may be a software problem. I will try the kernel

Then I KVM switch and mess about on the other machine. When I want to go back to 9.0, I switch the KVM and restart X by Ctrl+backspace. The mouse is then fine on the 9.0 box.
I do similar here, in that when I switch back to Linux, I switch to a text console and back to the desktop. However, while this works in SuSE 9.0, it doesn't in 9.1 or 9.2. I've got a Protec BYTELAN switch.
This problem appears unique to Linux. I've never seen it happen in OS/2 or Windows.
Hi,
Does this prob act differently if you ONLY SWITCH SYSTEMS via the button on the KVM panel? I find that the Belkin "Scroll lock 'til beep, then up or down arrow" or "Scroll lock 'til beep, then upper row numeric key (1 - 4) has subtle differences.
It doesn't matter how I switch. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
