I have about 4 computers all hooked together with a KVM (keyboard, video, mouse -- share the same keyboard, vid, and mouse with 4 seperate computers) When i am running Xfree86 on this one particular linux box (one that got updated to 2.4.12) the mouse works fine...however, say I need to do work on another machine, so I flip a switch and do my work, but when I flip back to the linux box with X running, the mouse dies. I have a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical, and it lights up red when its working from the optics inside...the light dies as well like I am not getting power to the mouse at all. The only solution I can find to the problem is I have to switch (ctrl+alt+F3 for example) to a free tty, and then switch back into X, then the mouse lights up, and everything works. But has is all of a sudden started doing this, and what can I do to fix it. My KVM switch does not emulate the keyboard or mouse, and I was thinking of going out and buying a nice KVM that does full emulation of both devices. Would this fix my problem. Some other stuff I have done is changed the driver for the mouse in X, and also shortened the mouse cable thinking maybe the cable was too long for the signal to go though. Any advise/solutions would be very appreciated. Thanks Alot. Josh
