[Xpert]How to reinitialize the mouse / KVM problems

[PJ]

Hello everyone. This is my first post here so please excuse me if I have forgotten any information or I have asked in the wrong place.   I am currently experiencing a very frustrating problem with my Belkin KVM not properly emulating my MS IntelliMouse Explorer. Upon switching from PC1 (my Windows 2000 box), to PC2 (my Gentoo Linux box) my mouse acts fine. Then if I switch back to PC1, then to PC2 again, my mouse goes haywire. It acts as if I'm pressing random keys, bounces around the screen, and will eventually crash X if I do not manually restart it (Ctrl + Alt + Backspace). This occurs with every WM and desktop environment I have tried so far, so I'm sure it is an issue with X. Restarting X always solves this problem, however restarting X everytime I go from PC to PC is not a long term viable solution.   I am currently using the following mouse settings in my X config file:   Section "InputDevice"     Identifier "Mouse1"     Driver "mouse"     Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"     Option "Device"      "/dev/psaux"     Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection   Incidentally, switching the Protocol to PS/2 from IMPS/2 causes the mouse to act the same way as if I had switched PC's twice.   My main question is this, is there anyway to reinitialize just the Mouse, so that I don't have to restart X constantly? I have tried switching consoles, but it always seems to crash X. Any help anyone has on this issue would be greatly appreciated. I realize it is a problem with my KVM being crappy and NOT a flaw with X, but any type of work around would be GREAT.   This probably means nothing, but instead of crashing Windows 2000 simply acts as if I scrolled my mouse up 3 lines, then goes back to normal. I have been searching for an answer for this problem for the greater part of a week now, and no one seems to have any ideas. I've run out of ideas myself, so this is my last long shot before I consider scraping the KVM idea all together.   Thanks. -PJ
