Have been using a wheel mouse with 4 machines running on a KVM switch

Is that machine setup have the mouse setup as a wheel mouse?
I set all my video to the same resolution and keyboards and mice to the
same type and never had a problem.
I can echo that I *have* had this problem before.
I think the protocol used to communicate between the mouse and the bus (imps2) requires a persistent connection...if interrupted, the mouse starts to behave completely erratically. Changing the protocol to standard ole "ps2" seems to get rid of this, but will not let you use the wheel.
If your imps2 connection gets messed up, I've found that restarting X seems to restore it.
