    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?
