Couldn't reproduce using your steps; may be hw specific. Some systems-- especially those using PS/2 mice-- are less forgiving about unplugging/plugging in mice without power cycling (rebooting may not be enough). You are right, it's hw specific. Power cycling the server machine solves the problem. |
