I bet I'm going to run into trouble on this, I have a Belkin KVM that I use to switch between 3 computers on my desk. I've had mouse issues with it in the past, i.e. if I configure it for a scroll mouse in a Linux gui, then switch to Windows, the mouse pointer jumps all over the screen, completely unusable. I just tried setting it up again in sysinstall, and it's jumping everywhere and corrupting the display, I have to ^C to recover control of console before I can get out of mouse configuration. Too bad, I have no issues with mousing on my Redhat 9 box, or my XP box, is there any way to copy and paste w/o mouse in console? Any way to trick mouse config in sysinstall? It seems like the only PS/2 options are the defaults.
