Wondering if anybody has any ideas on a mouse problem I've got.
The problem is that when I switch via KVM to another computer and come
back, the mouse is completely erratic.
Here are the details: I use a KVM (keyboard/video/mouse) switch.
Chinacat is a redhat 6.2 system
$ uname -a
Linux chinacat.unicom.com 2.2.16-chinacat #5 Sun Jun 18 02:16:10 CDT 2000 i686
unknown
The mouse is a Microsoft cordless wheel mouse. The configuration I'm
using is:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "IMPS/2"
Device "/dev/mouse"
Emulate3Buttons
Emulate3Timeout 50
EndSection
If I switch the KVM to another system and then come back to chinacat,
the mouse acts very erratic and becomes completely unusable.
If I then CTRL-SHIFT-BACKSPACE, the server will shutdown and restart
(via kdm) and everything comes back fine.
It's something about this mouse. I've used a generic PS/2 mouse before
without problem.
Does anybody have any ideas on how I can prevent the mouse from
getting into this wacky state ... or some way of resetting it (short of
restarting X)?
