I'm not plugging a USB mouse in. The cable I purchased has a USB connector at one end, and two PS/2 style ports, (one with a keyboard and one with a mouse) on the other end. So, I'm not using a "true" USB mouse here... Yes, I plug the cable (which already has the mouse and kbd plugged in) into the USB slot, type kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 on the laptop keyboard which switches the console kbd to the external one. The external kbd functions as expected, the laptop one doesn't. The laptop mouse continues to work, the external (logitech trackman marble, FWIW) doesn't. Moving the external mouse does nothing on the screen... Unplugging the USB cable kills the moused, and switches the keyboard back to the laptop kbd. Any clues???
