[expert] mouse stops responding when switching between KVM switch

[brian]

I have 5 computers on my desk that share 1 KVM Switch (Belkin OmniView Pro 
8-Port). 3 PC's run MDK8.0, 2 are OpenBSD. When I switch between the MDK 
boxes, sometimes I lose control of the mouse. I can sometimes fix this by 
loging out of KDE, other times I have to reboot. I use a PS/2 Wheel mouse. Is 
there a better way to restart the mouse if I still have keyboard/console 
access? 

I remember seeing a thread about restarting lmwheel but could not find it 
today. 

Thanks,
Brian
