Occasionally, mouse and/or keyboard go a little odd, but I find that switching between machines again clears it. I know that with the SmartView, there is a key sequence you can send to it to force it to rescan the attached mouse, so there may be some similar feature on yours? I have been using this kind of switch for getting on three years, with the same set of OSes you mention, but without the hassles...
