Hi All, I run two PC's, and share my mouse, keyboard and monitor between them. Rather than unplugging the monitor etc. every time I want to connect to the other PC, I use a simple data transfer switch instead. (By simple, I mean that it doesn't support mouse/keyboard emulation on the 'unused' ports). However, if I switch the keyboard and mouse from the FreeBSD box, then back again, FreeBSD cannot see the mouse. This is also true if restart the X server. In fact, nothing other than a reboot will do! (Note that reconnection of the keyboard works fine, though). The alternative is to have a separate mouse for both machines, but surely a more elegant solution exists... And so my question: Is there some way I can get FreeBSD to 're-see' the mouse after a disconnection/reconnection?
