Do you wait 10-15 seconds after switching before moving the mouse? (Tap the caps lock key until you see that the keyboard is responding.) When the mouse loses sync, as strange as it seems, hitting Esc on the keyboard often helps. Though I've just remembered that I had this problem with a USB mouse plugged into a PS/2 KVM via a USB->PS/2 adapter, and in that case the only fix was to unplug the mouse and plug in a real PS/2 mouse. After that the mouse would behave again, and I could unplug the PS/2 mouse and plug in the USB one again. My observation is that Linux doesn't have the good heuristics that Windows does for discarding garbage mouse events, and my suggestion would be to try plugging in a different mouse and see if that improves things. luke -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
