I have noticed that if I start the system boot, and then switch away, = both moused and X lose my mouse when I come back later. If I wait for = the boot to complete, no problem and I can pop back and forth. = Otherwise I've been pretty happy with the 4 port Trendware cheapie kvm. = Took generic 4.8 install with kde. MoBo is an older FIC for the K6-III. = Mouse is logitech trackball w/2 buttons. =20 It looks like the trendware, zonet, phoebe, and who knows how many = others are rebadged or slightly different packages of the same board. jim -----Original Message----- From: Tom Convery [mailto:tpc@tomfoo.com] Sent: Monday, June 02, 2003 10:52 AM To: Gregory Bond; freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Subject: Re: hints on KVM switches w/ X Gregory Bond wrote: > Has anyone got hints on using KVM switches with XFree86?

I've had this happen to me when the KVM doesn't _really_ support the mouse I'm using, e.g. using an IntelliMouse Explorer with any Belkin KVM I've ever tried. > Next time I touch the mouse, all sorts of weird things happen for a=20 > fraction of a second, then the mouse starts working OK. This happens when the psm driver gets out of sync with the mouse. The=20 driver realizes this is happening and corrects itself, but not until it=20 gets enough garbage (which makes the mouse cursor bounce and click all=20 over the place) to realize it's out of sync. :-\ If the earlier-posted hint about disabling psm sync checking (with=20 "flags 0x0100") doesn't help, replacing your KVM may be the answer. :-( -tpc _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to = "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
