To the end of /boot/grub/grub.conf I added the line:
psmouse.proto=imps
Well the psmouse.proto=imps needs to be added to one of the kernel command lines in grub.conf, not on a line by itself.
where do I put that option?
after the "quiet" add a "space" and try psmouse.proto=imps
also try psmouse.proto=bare
you might also try this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf for the mouse driver (that works for my belkin switch and a logitech scroll mouse):
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"I want to say that nothing worked, in changing configurations, but moving the system to the first KVM did.
While in init 3 boot mode, I ran: Xorg -configure
It did not recognize the mouse.
I did not read further in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml to see that I should have tried xorgconfig and see what it would do.
Well, since the mouse is working now, I think I am going to try these two to see what they do...
Again, thanks for all the great help. I really don't know how I am going to document this one. Probably has something to do with the power in my KVMs.
BTW, they are old ATEN Master View plus CS-138D. These are 2U 8 port KVMs that support cascading from ports 1-6 (cannot cascade from 7 or 8, and now I think it is a power problem). According to ATEN's old records, these were suppose to be for the EU market. But they were in original manufacturing packaging with 110 power transformers. I currently have 12 ports in use. One goes to my work bench where I have an old KVM that does not support the cascade, so I have to switch that manually (allowing for multiple systems in development). If I could find a CHEAP 1U 16 porter that could use my current cables (well that may take a 2U), I would jump at it. I will probably have to, as in another location I had a CS-104 and put in an LCD monitor, but the 104 could not drive it. I suspect that when I go to replace my very old CRT here, I will need that new KVM! Oh, for systems in production in my NOC, the score card is:
NT 1 W2K 4 XP 1 Centos 4 Astaro 1
One of the Centos is suppose to sundown the NT. But I have to spend the time to get SAMBA with PDC support working on that one.
I use a msi wireless keyboard and mouse on a kvm and the only time I see erratic mouse behaviour is when the batteries have gotten low and I put in a full charged set.
Well, I just tried new batteries.
No different.
Now I have cascaded KMS. My graphical Centos boxes are at:
Switch 1, 'port' 8 Switch 2, 'port' 1 (port 6 on Switch 1 is the cascading port)
This system is on Switch 2, 'port' 5
Tomorrow morning, I will move it to port 4 on switch 1 (only open port on switch 1) and see what happens.
The frustrating part is that everything was fine until I did that java install. folllowed by a yum update (which only pulled down a update to yum).
If no change, it is back to reinstall. Maybe that is just as well. I had to do a manual disk partition and did not make notes. Redoing it will force me to make some notes....

I have a CS-104 at my desk at work, and it has no problems with an LCD. You just have to run at 60Hz
