I have checked the cables and they are fine. As I eluded if I reboot then it comes up just fine. It is only after it sits for a while and I come back the boxes do I occasionally have problems. I just checked the switch (8 ports) that has multiple OS's hooked up to it and here is the current status. P1: FC2 - Fine P2: FC4 - Mouse not functioning correctly P3: FC4 - Mouse not functioning correctly P4: Win2003 - Fine P5: Win2003 - Fine P6: FC4 - Fine P7: Empty P8: XP Pro - Fine This summer I upgraded the To FC4 on the 3 different boxes and that is when the trouble started. I usually SSH into them and do everything from the command line but sometimes you need to access the box directly. Other people are using these servers so I just can't reboot them every time the mouse decides to act up. The KVM switch does send a signal to the machines so that they think there is a mouse, keyboard, and monitor there all of the time. I really thing this a FC4 issue from my months of experience with it. How do I, from the command line, tell it to refresh the mouse?
