It behaves as if one or more mouse buttons are pressed Sounds like a KVM problem. When you switch from one system to another and have a wheel mouse, the KVM switch has to re-init the mouse (and remember what mode the system used when initializing the mouse in the first place). If the system inits the mouse in a way that the KVM doesn't catch correctly, it can leave the mouse in a confused state (the PS/2 protocol and the wheel mouse protocol are apparently different enough to cause lots of problems like you describe). I have a Cybex KVM switch, and when I switch back and forth, sometimes I lose the wheel functionality, but the mouse still works (I think the KVM does some protocol translation). The KVM switch has a hot-key combo that re-inits the mouse into or out of wheel mode; if I hit "CTRL CTRL M W", the mouse is reset into wheel mode and it works (I don't remember the "out of wheel mode reset", since it defaults to that). -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
