I move my notebook around my office. Sometimes I am using the internal pointers, sometimes a USB mouse, and sometimes a USB keyboard/mouse adapter that is plugged into a kvm (actually two of them).
With one of these USB k/m adapters, when I plug in, the system fails to recognize the mouse (but no problem with the keyboard). The 2 adapters are the same brand/model (Aten), but the KVMs are different Aten masterviews.
Of course I would like to figure out why this is happening and get it to stop,
but meanwhile is there a way to restart the mouse services.
For within X, I don't think so.
I have a USB KVM, and I have had problems when switching, the KVM seemed to hang and needed its power cycled.
That involves unplugging all USB connectors to hosts that have power to the motherboard, and replugging them.
Fortunately, it seems to have settled down, it's a fairly tedious way to swap KV & M.
