Jesse - Are you using the mouse on a PS/2 connector or USB connector? When I was testing a USB KVM with my MX700 I had no problems disconnecting and then reconnecting it. It took FBSD 4.8 about 3 seconds to reinit the mouse. I've noticed the mouse can be pretty finickie when using the PS/2 adapter/connector. On Wed, 21 May 2003, Jesse D.
