Replug everything in the KVM? Sometimes mine (Laser junk) requires this. > 3. Different mouse? I've seen that before. I had to change my KVM. The newer Belkin and Trendnet work. If you get a new one make sure it says that it's compatible with Linux or Unix, I had the same problem with Solaris 10 but not anymore...
I've had the same problem with Belkin with PS/2 connections (erratic mouse movements after switching from Windows). But after a change to Aten KVM with USB kbd/mouse everything works as expected when switching between Windows and Linux boxes and with working scoll wheel on the mouse. - Christian _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
