Maybe it's your KVM? I have an off-brand KVM that I use with
an MDK8.0 & Win2k box. The mouse is an MS IntelliMouse 1.2A.
Even though the wheel doesn't work anymore, the basic functions
of the mouse, including 3-button emulation using the wheel,
have never failed during switching.
My Mdk box is kernel 2.4.3 & X 4.0.3.
