    Hello,

    i use two computer with one monitor, keyboard and mouse with a
    mechanical switch.
    I use it with SuSE 7.2 and KDE and SuSE 8.1 and KDE/Windows.

    Every time i switch from the SuSE 7.2 machine to SuSE 8.1 machine
    i lose the mouse. The xserver shows the mouse, but i can't move
    it. So i have to switch with the keyboard to the virtuell console
    and back to get the mouse back.

    If i switch from the SuSE 7.2 machine to the Windows machine,
    Windows holds its mouse and i can move it. Switching back to SuSE
    7.2, i lose my mouse. :-(

    Is there a switch for the XF86Config-file that prevent this?

    The SuSE 7.2 uses XFree 4.0.3 and the SuSE 8.1 uses XFree 4.2.0.

    What can i do?

    Thanks

    Edgar
