> I'm using a 4 port KVM switch with a Microsoft Keyboard and Microsoft

> With kernel 2.6 I can't use the mouse, neither in console or X: the movement is
> random and also it generates random clicks.
> Why kernel ? Because I tried with a bunch of linux distros with kernel 2.4 and I

> 9.2, SimplyMephis 3.3).
> I have the same problem in Warty and Hoary Live (tried with Array 4 and 5).

> Ways of (partial) solving the problem:
> 1. Pluging the mouse directly in the KVM (If you have 4 machines around it's not
> a solution).
> 2. Using psmouse.proto=bare in grub / lilo (also not a solution, because I loose
> the scrolling and extra-buttons).
