Hi Mark

Mouse(genius netscrool + eye) and keyboard are both ps/2.
If you remember old mouses had a button on bottom for two options: mouse
and x11 (or something like that). So i believe that win want to use IMPS.

I also found many info when using google : KVM linux Windows mouse problem

But to be honest, i believe the mouse was also crazy when switching
between two linux systems.
