I see, mine only has ps/2 connections, so I'm still looking for psm0 when the mouse is plugged into the KVM switch. Plugging the mouse directly to the box is a solution but it is only KV not KVM. How could the machine tell the difference? Does your KVM pretend it is a keyboard and mouse when you are not switched to that machine? Mine does. In that way, I can boot a machine and then switch to it and it will work. malcolm ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- --hackmiester Walk a mile in my shoes and you will be a mile away in a new pair of shoes. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFD/yYl3ApzN91C7BcRAoVVAJ97uhjh30nQ4hd9bQ90gJqiwsLEfgCeKSrg bVfqEeJ09WhO6Y51WHEHb6o= =VTUd -END PGP SIGNATURE- -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: Geek Code v3.1 (PHP) GCS/CM/E/IT d-@ s: a- C++$ UBLS*$ P+ L+++$ E- W++$ !N-- !o+ K-- !w-- !O- M++$ V-- PS@ PE@ Y--?

That may be the trick, I typically boot both machines at the same time. The windows box doesn't care, it works every time. I turned off the BSD box and rebooted with the KVM selector on its port and everything works. There is still the possibility that the KVM switch is flaky. malcolm ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
