Every Belkin KVM I've ever used suffers from this very problem. Primarily, because Belkin KVMs do some bizzare protocol interpretation and re-encoding between the mouse and the computer, and when you switch, it gets out of sync. Two fixes that I know of on Linux that don't involve esoteric kernel boot-time parameters: 1) when you switch to your linux box, flip to a text console and then back to your X session 2) when you switch to your Linux box, unplug and then re-plug your mouse (really only works with USB mice). My solution was to buy an IOGear USB KVM. More expensive, but it works. Gregory -- Gregory K.
