From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98) Description of problem: Mechanical switch box switching keyboard (PS/2), mouse(PS/2, Logitech Cordless Mouseman Pro) and display. After switching to the other PC and back the mouse input is lost rendering the switch box virtually useless. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Switch to other PC 2. Switch back 3. Actual Results: Cursor frozen at one spot. Expected Results: Cursor following mouse movements Additional info: The problem appeared after upgrading the kernel 2.4.2-2 to 2.4.9 and the glibc to glibc-2.2.4-19. Mouse can be recovered by the screen test in the Xconfigurator.
Red Hat Linux does not officially support using KVM switch boxes. Many of these devices work fine, while others do not. Some of the problems are software related, and some are the actual devices themselves. Since we do not have all of this hardware, we cannot actively support it.
I'd also like to add, that 99.99999% of all KVM related bugs, are the KVM itself causing the problem. It is rarely if ever a software problem.
