I have a similar arrangement with exactly the same problem and worse!
Short of control-alt-backspace, the only thing that works for me is
having a separate mouse for each Linux machine.
What is worst, is that I have a brand new Asus A7A266 Athlon 1.4 gig
system w/512 Megs DDRam, GeForce3, SBLive, etc.
Switching "away" from the A7A266 (ALi chipset) motherboard immediately
hangs the system.
I'm wondering if these motherboards still use the keyboard controller
for protected mode state switching...

Subject: [expert] mouse stops responding when switching between KVM
switch
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
