Okey, so I should try and test with a real PS/2 mouse. Well it could solve the problem. As I said erlier my brand is a LevelOne, and on the homepage it says that it support FreeBSD. The mouse be the problem, I have to check it out. > My KVM is marked "PS-104" on the front, but I can't see any visible > brand names its buried so I can't dig it out.

I have no clue, but perhaps the signals from a USB mouse/keyboard is not the same as from a PS/2 mouse. The might be some diffrences in any case. > I've just resigned myself to use a PS2 mouse with my KVM, and hoping it > doesn't break. > > Joe.
