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 console mouse?
/etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm restart
From X desktop, access Services, select gpm and "Restart"
