For those of you who have a battery of servers, and make use of a common mouse-keyboard-monitor switcher (aka Belkin or similar devices) you might notice that if you switch from one server console to another console (that is to redhat/fedora) the mouse cursor looses all sense of location and gets *really* screwed up. I have not been able to "reset" the mouse cursor to a "sane" position without being forced to reboot the system if I want to be able to log into the system.
IIRC, nearly everyone who had this problem was using cheap (read, low-quality) KVM switches. OTOH, people who are using better-quality gear and people who switch to better-quality gear generally do not have the same problem.
Avocent (née Cybex) switches come highly recommended and work well; I have two myself. Other very good brands should be just as reliable.
Cheers,
Thanks to all that have responded in advance, ~Dan
If anyone has responded in advance, I'd sure like to know how they did it. <smile>
