[wplug] KVM Switch and RH9

[Vanco, Donald]

Stupid question: you _did_ restart X?

Stupid suggestion: try a $5 2-button PS/2 mouse

Second stupid suggestion (possibly deprecated in 9) run mouseconfig and let
it set up the stuff for X (this has worked for me in the past w/goofy mouse
behavior, but my reputation as a lazy sot is exceeded only by my penchant
for acidic criticism)

Anything in the logs (messages or X)?  Are you running GPM and if so does it
still work?

I hate X logging so I usually start it with something like:

startx -- -bpp 16 > /tmp/x.out 2>&1 &

so I can dig through the file at my leisure...

Don, this had no visible effect. 

Scott, I am using a generic KVM and the mouse is a Logitech MouseMan 
Wheel.  One of the machines this is happening on is using the generic 
ps2 mouse driver, the other is using the generic wheel mouse driver. 
Both machines have the problem.  

This setup worked with 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 8.0 but now it doesnt in 9.0.  

This is what I get for trying to save myself some desk space and the 
company some money! ;) 

Thanks for the suggestions
