This PC shares keyboard, mouse & video with other PCs via the StarView SV411 KVM switch. The issue I have occurs only when I run Free BSD. It seems Free BSD initially wont configure the mouse correctly when installing the software when the mouse is connected via the SV411 switch. It will install the mouse correctly when the mouse is directly connected to the PC, without the SV411 in the circuit. Later, when the Free BSD Gnome GUI software is installed, it does not mind if the keyboard and video are switched by the SV411. The mouse will work via the SV411 only if the system booted with the mouse active via the SV411. As soon as you switch KVM to another PC and then return the the Free BSD PC, the mouse quits working totally on the Free BSD PC. Right now I am using a dedicated mouse for the PC that runs Free BSD. >How-To-Repeat: See full description. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
