Hi
this was my nightmare for about few days. I was and still am running hdd install of knoppix 4.02 on main pc and second testing pc with (win xp, debian, knoppix, kbuntu,ubuntu, freebsd and now centos :o). Using Belkin KVM for two computers.
The only solution i found was to put " psmouse.proto=imps "to grub. It is also working when booting knoppix live cd as cheat code. But did not succed on *buntu. I did not test it on Centos, as i am only using terminal.
good luck

Hi Pavel,
That sounds interesting, but I'm still wondering what happens at boot time that makes the mouse function properly and gets broken when I toggle the KVM?
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.
