Hi, We have a NOC with 4 PCs doing the monitoring, 2 linux and 2 Windoze. The four PCs have a single monitor, keyboard, and mouse all connected via an Apex Outlook 4-port KVM switch (I believe it is the 140 model). The mice works fine for all systems. I just converted one of the linux boxes over to FreeBSD 4.5-release running XFree86 version 4.1.0 (we run 4.1.0 on all other BSD boxes so we have to stay consistant). No matter what I do, the mouse will not be recognized by the system. If I remove the mouse from the KVM switch and plug it directly into the system, it works fine. If I move the linux box to that KVM port, the mouse works fine. So, the problem seems to lie in the interaction of the KVM and FreeBSD box (when the box ran linux, the mouse worked fine). It's a PS/2 Intellimouse plugged into the KVM and then a 7 ft. KVM cable connects to the PS/2 mouse port. I've tried configuring X to look at /dev/psm0, running moused, etc. Anyone have any additional thoughts on where the problem may lie? I don't want my manager to force me to put linux back on.
