Me, the scroll wheel hasn't worked in about the last 10 kernels while attached
to a Belkin KVM
Scroll wheel works just fine. The only oddity here is the cursor zips
off to usually the lower right corner of the desktop a couple of times a
day and I have to unplug the mouse whenever I switch systems through the
KVM or it goes REALLY weird. The dart off to the lower right corner
usually occurs when attempting to drag something.
This is with a Mitsumi mouse and a Tyan Tiger MPX motherboard. The
Belkin KVM is one of the four port ps/2 only types. It's old but meets
my needs (for that matter the system is old and so am I).
Cheers,
Dave
