Interesting, I was using a black compaq mouse that comes with the new Evos, made by Logitech. When I finally switched to a MS mouse it was fine....this is a fix Belkin gave me.
As I understand it, we can't officially support KVM's for a number of reasons. This came up on our beta tester mailing list, and here's snippet of one of the emails: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just for the record, we officially do not support KVM switches. I have and use one, and many other developers here do also, as well as many users. While they may work fine, bugs that occur only when a KVM is used, are not supported. The reason being that one would require the specific KVM switch in order to debug the issue, and we simply do not have all of the available hardware combinations that are out there. In addition, almost all KVM related bugs are bugs in the KVM itself. If your KVM has firmware that is upgradeable, or similar, make sure you're using the latest firmware. You may also need to change your mouse configuration when using a KVM. On some KVM's you need to switch to the console and back in order for your mouse pointer to become functional again after a switch.
