Setup: 5 computers connected to Belkin Omni View PRO 8-port Belkin KVM Console F1DC100P 3 of the machines are brand new, identical hardware. 1 has Win2K Adv. Server installed 1 has FC1 installed 1 has FC2 installed Computer with FC2 lost sync with the touchpad/mouse when I switched away and back to it. Adding that kernel parameter kept the touchpad in sync. Many Thanks. Ben aka Howard Burnside tuxfan@xxxxxxxxx
