Hi, Years ago, I encountered a problem with my XFree86, KVM and PS/2 mouse where the cursor would jump to the side of the screen and only wiggle when I moved the mouse. I eventually found a solution searching for messages like psmintr: out of sync (0000 != 0008) based on what I saw in my syslog. This message looks familiar: <http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi? fetch=238003+0+archive/1998/freebsd-bugs/19980301.freebsd-bugs> I think the solution I used was setting a bit in my kernel's psm config to not sync and rebuilding. YMMV Excuse me if this has already been answered. I only get the digest version. cheers Ken On Mon, Jun 02, 2003 at 04:07:00PM +1000, Gregory Bond wrote: > Has anyone got hints on using KVM switches with XFree86?
