If I manage to get a terminal window open and leave the mouse alone, I can type.
Also <alt-cnlt-F1> gets me to display 1.
If I go back to display 0, everything is still hosed.
Any pointers? Some mouse file out of align and too sensitive? How I fix this and reset things?
I haven't followed this thread closely, so sorry if this has already been suggested. On my KVM at work, if I switch over to a windows computer and then back to my linux box my mouse goes crazy (I don't know why, but its common to our Belkin KVM's). If I unplug and replug my mouse, everything works fine after then. Does this work for you?
the well known belkin kvm switch fix...
psmouse.proto=bare
tack that onto the end of your 'kernel' line in /boot/grub/grub.conf
--- you will lose the 'mouse wheel' on the top but it won't go crazy

psmouse.proto=imps
then I tried bare
