Right now, I have my PC and my thinkpad hooked up to it (although the thinkpad has its own mouse because of the way it handles the external mouse/keyboard). When the PC first boots (and is selected on the switch box) everything works fine. After I switch to the thinkpad and back then the mouse slows down considerable (ithe point moves at about half speed). NOTE: the only computer that is hooked to the mouse port on the switch box is the PC. I am using -current from 6/1/97 although it also failed with a kernel from about two weeks ago. I think it worked before then but I won't swear to it. Anyone ever seen this or know how to fix it?? Thanks. -- Keith Mitchell Head Administrator: acm.vt.edu Email: kmitch@weenix.guru.org PGP key available upon request http://weenix.guru.org/~kmitch
