The only thing I can think of is are you using a PS/2 or a USB interface for your mouse? PS/2 is not designed to hot-plug (which I think is how KVM switches work), so maybe it just gets confused. Have you tried using it as a USB mouse? I have the same mouse, and it works fine, with both GPM and X (using raw-repeating). As an aside, I think I blew my PS/2 mouse port from hot-plugging my mouse one to many times...fortunately, this was just after working USB [mouse] support entered the 2.2 kernels (I think...), so I just dropped the USB->PS/2 converter dongle. Anyhow, I hope you figure it out. -rob
