Last weekend I set up all my systems to work though a KVM switch.
The mouse port on the switch is set up to accept the PS/2
type of plug. Both of my newer systems use this type connection,
but on my main server I had my 3-button Logitech working via
/dev/ttyd0. This worked flawlessly for years --- except for having
cables everywhere and the headache of having to change heads if
a server failed to boot. This was why I went with the switch.
The gotch is that my Logitech mouse acts strangely with
moused -p /dev/psm0 -t mouseman. There is a long delay on the
left-button response time. Sometimes a click will open an
xterm right away; sometimes it takes several seconds; and at
yet other times the left-button click does nothing. Also,
pasting things with the middle-button takes several seconds at
least; sometimes it doesn't work.
I'm guessing that there are few people using BSD with a switch
and also using the Logitech. Can anyone offer any suggestions
about resolving this issue? Are there any other mice with
3 buttons, that paste with the middle button, and that use
/dev/psm0?
moused seems like a great utility, but I haven't found a solution
in its man page.
thanks,
gary
