But you can see her here: > http://wikipedia.org/wiki/gush > Dotan, I had the same problem with my KVM. If I boot the computer when KVM is connected to one computer, on switching back to the FCx box, the mouse loses sync and does the merry dance all over the screen. I don't lose it totally though, just the ability to control it. My Logitech wireless has the same problem via the KVM and Logitech maintain it won't work via a KVM anyway. I think it is a lower level function of the driver to restore/request sync with the mouse, but some drivers do this once on boot up and don't request a resync after that. I'll have to look up the references since I last looked into this about 7-8 years ago. Regards Chris
