Ah yes, this problem with KVM switches is well known. Most of the time adding the psmouse options as described above seems to fix it for most systems. There was a thread several months ago where someone mentioned a test mouse driver that was an attempt to fix this problem. If you can find that thread or find the bugzilla report suggesting this alternate mouse driver maybe that would help. Hopefully if that testing went as expected it is part of FC3 now but I don't know if that happened or not. -- Scot L. Harris webid@xxxxxxxxxx Scott, Thanks for your reply. I am not sure what I did the first time I tried the psmouse qualifers, but I tried them again and was able to get an improvement with 'psmouse.proto=bare' appended to the kernel line. The use of the other two made no difference in the symptoms. The 'bare' switch looses the ability to use the mouse wheel, but at least I do not have to reboot to use the gui. I have downloaded the kernel-doc package and am going to take a look at 'psmouse' to see if there are other switches that can be used. In the mean time if you have other suggestions or any from others I would appreciate it. Thanks, Greg
