I have not had this experience on FC1. I run two PC's (one with FC1, and
the other with Win2k). I also have a Belkin KVM to free up my desktop.
When first installed, I had a Logitech wheelmouse and whenever I
switched from one PC to the other, the mouse would go wild. I eventually
solved this problem by disabling the wheel option(s) on the mouse, since
when I have had _no_ problems whatsoever when switching. I never really
used the wheel options anyway, so do not miss them, and I certainly do
not miss the "wild" mouse activity.
