    With SUSE 9.0 (9.0 NOT 9.1) things actually got better
    with regard to KVM switching. Normally, whenever I switch
    from machine to machine (all running X), I would have
    to do a Ctrl-Alt-F1-Alt-F7 to cycle from X to console and
    back to X in order to get my mouse to work fully (inluding
    both up and down on the wheel). With SUSE 9.0, the wheel
    would even work without going through the sequence... but
    ONLY in the down direction.

    With SUSE 9.1, the mouse goes crazy and the old Ctr-Alt-..etc..
    technique doesn't help. Stopping and restarting X DOESN'T
    WORK either! I have to REBOOT in order to get rid of the
    crazy mouse problem (the problem where the mouse just jump
    all over the screen with mouse button 1 randomly pressed).

    I don't know if it's particular to 2.6, but I think it must
    be.

    Anyone else see this problem and have a workaround (aside
    from rebooting!).

    I'm using a cheap 4 port Belkin switch. If you have a
    KVM switch recommendation that shows NO problems, let
    me know.
