Your mouse probably restarts because it looses power briefly during switch.
This means that it needs to be sent a string to start data reporting.
We used to attempt to detect the mouse replug. However this caused problems
as the sequence sent by the mouse to notify a driver about a reset could
also be part of a valid data package. To do detect the mouse replug reliable
in user space it would have required to do a gettimeofday() syscall on every
package received from the mouse.
It was therefore decided to leave replug detection to the kernel. If you use
Linux you can enable ps/2 mouse reset in the kernel by setting the option
with the word "psaux-reconnect". You can also do echo -en "\364" > /dev/psaux
To reinitialize the Explorer protocol you may have to do:
echo -en "\363\310\363\310\363\120\362" before you do above sequence.
Instead of using this sequence use Protocol "auto" instead of "ExplorerPS/2"
(I'm not sure if autodetection of the Explorer mouse works correctly as
I didn't find one for testing)
See if this helps and please report back if you still have problems.
