I had a similar problem once. From what I remember, this is a common problem with PS/2 mice (USB mice are apparently immune). It particularly occurs when you move or click the mouse while switching the KVM, but will sometimes happen for no obvious reason (making it really hard to pinpoint the problem if you're new to KVM switches). Some switches are better than others, but I never found one which was known to be immune to the problem. Much like RAM and old SCSI equipment, some combinations will work glitch-free, some will give you no end of headaches. I finally just settled for having a metric butt-ton of monitors and keyboards around. Looks cooler, anyway. -- Batou: Hey, Major... You ever hear of "human rights"?
