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.
yeah... the overall concensus is that a different KVM and possibly a
different mouse/keyboard will fix the problem, but since that is very
unlikely to happen I'm going to have to find a software/OS solution.
That's the biggest reason I'm now looking at what happens at boot time
to allow the mouse to work correctly and then breaks and doesn't
function after a KVM toggle back from Windows.
