However this is not ideal for me so I didn't try booting into X11 like this. The KVM switch appears to function flawlessly under the Knoppix Operating System (tested 3.4 and 3.6) and under Windows XP. >How-To-Repeat: Plug a USB mouse into an usb-ps/2 adaptor and plug it into a generic KVM switch, then try and set up your mouse to function correctly >Fix: Write a wrapper for the Knoppix mouse drivers? (/dev/psAux device using generic ps2 drivers apparently) Update the mouse drivers in FreeBSD? >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
