Check it. I have a switch [TRENDnet, TK-200, KVM switch] that let me have one monitor, one keyboard and one mouse and two computers connected to them. I get these messages when one of the computers boots and the switch is not selecting it. What I find odd is that it didn't happend in FreeBSD 4.x and the first time I saw the messages was in FreeBSD 5.0 > On Thursday, 1 May 2003 at 17:01:49 -0400, John Bleichert wrote: >> On Thu, 1 May 2003, Martin Kruse Jensen wrote: >> <snip> >>> >>> When I try to run X the mouse jumps to the top right corner.
