You have been subscribed to a public bug: Bug request: Please add the Gnome bug #549267 fix into the latest Ubuntu updates. My original Gnome bug description is below:
Please describe the problem: With Ubuntu 8.10 (latest 2.6.27-7-generic kernel) and GNome 2.24.1 mouse is configured to be 'left handed' via the System -> Preferences -> Mouse. I switch to another computer on my KVM, do some work and then switch back to ubuntu computer. Mouse preferences have now been reset to right handed. Temporary fix: Reset the preferences via System->Preferences->Mouse panel again. This is a new issue since Ubuntu 8.04 with the latest kernel for it. The mouse is a MSFT Optical USB mouse connected to an IOGear KVM that supports USB Keyboard/Mouse. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install Ubuntu 8.10 w/GNome 2.24.1, connect to computer via KVM with USB mouse & keyboard. 2. Switch to another computer on the KVM box 3. Switch back to ubuntu box; mouse preferences have been reset to right handed Actual results: Mouse settings are gone and reset to right-handed. Expected results: Mouse settings stay at left-handed configuration Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: As mentioned in the description, this was not an issue on the 8.04 install. I upgraded to 8.10 and the problem has appeared. No luck getting any suggestions on ubuntu forums. Am willing to experiment, need guidance on the 'how' though.
