I want to say that nothing worked, in changing configurations, but
moving the system to the first KVM did.
While in init 3 boot mode, I ran: Xorg -configure
It did not recognize the mouse.
I did not read further in
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml to see that I should
have tried xorgconfig and see what it would do.
Well, since the mouse is working now, I think I am going to try these
two to see what they do...
Again, thanks for all the great help. I really don't know how I am
going to document this one. Probably has something to do with the
power in my KVMs.
BTW, they are old ATEN Master View plus CS-138D. These are 2U 8 port
KVMs that support cascading from ports 1-6 (cannot cascade from 7 or
8, and now I think it is a power problem). According to ATEN's old
records, these were suppose to be for the EU market. But they were
in original manufacturing packaging with 110 power transformers. I
currently have 12 ports in use. One goes to my work bench where I
have an old KVM that does not support the cascade, so I have to
switch that manually (allowing for multiple systems in
development). If I could find a CHEAP 1U 16 porter that could use my
current cables (well that may take a 2U), I would jump at it. I will
probably have to, as in another location I had a CS-104 and put in an
LCD monitor, but the 104 could not drive it. I suspect that when I
go to replace my very old CRT here, I will need that new KVM! Oh,
for systems in production in my NOC, the score card is:
NT 1
W2K 4
XP 1
Centos 4
Astaro 1
One of the Centos is suppose to sundown the NT. But I have to spend
the time to get SAMBA with PDC support working on that one.
