Jesse -

Are you using the mouse on a PS/2 connector or USB connector?  When I was
testing a USB KVM with my MX700 I had no problems disconnecting and then
reconnecting it.  It took FBSD 4.8 about 3 seconds to reinit the mouse.
I've noticed the mouse can be pretty finickie when using the PS/2
adapter/connector.
