From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: Using Belkin 4 port ps2/vga hub. Allows to connect to pc towers with one mouse, one monitor and one keyboard. If I switch to the other system then back, I lose control of mouse. Windows flash, programs execute as mouse moves around on it's own. Same thing happens if only use the hub with the keyboard and monitor and plug a mouse directly into the PS2 port. Correctsable with reboot or with ctrl + ALT + backspace Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. with belkin hub system desribed above, change to other system hitting button on hub. 2.Change back to linux system 3.watch the mouse freak out Actual Results: Lost mouse control. Expected Results: system should respond as normal. Should be able to switch between boxes with no interuption. Additional info: Found a lot of people with similar trouble - google search for "KVM switch mouse goes crazy with linux" (without the quotes)
Found fix on google - "If you're working in X-Windows, hit Ctrl+Alt+[F1-F6] to go to a virtual console, and then Alt+F7 to return to X. If you're at a console, do the opposite: Hit Alt+F7 to jump to X-Windows, then Ctrl+Alt+[F- console number] to return." from www-net.cs.umass.edu/cs591_fall02/faq.html
Changing component to XFree86.
This problem may, or may not be able to be worked around via software hacks. If it is possible, and it may not be, it would require physical access to both the problematic KVM switch and the exact mouse model (or some mouse model) which is observing this behavior. You may wish to file a bug report about this problem upstream at http://bugs.xfree86.org in case someone in the larger community whom has this hardware and is able to reproduce the problem might be able to also produce an XFree86 software hack workaround. Closing this bug as a duplicate of our KVM master bug.
