[XFree86] problems with KVM switch and mouse

[John Bob]

I have 2 pcs connected to a 4 way KVM switch. On one PC I run Windows XP and 
on another I run Linux Debian. When I boot up my Linux box I have 
connectivity with my mouse. However, when I switch to my Windows box and 
then back to the Linux box my mouse loses connectivity under Linux but not 
Windows. Any help in debugging this isse would be greatly appreciated

Either get 'ghost adapters' for the Linux box, or get a smarter KVM.

Don't even bother to try and fix this any other way.  Really.  :-)
