Re: Trouble with KVM switch and RHL

[Adam Niemirowski <adam qcom com>]

I too am running the intellimouse explorer optical.  It works great on all 
the other computers, but some reason this one is giving me fits.  It's a 
older Compaq presario (450 PII).  I don't have any issues with the KVM when 
running windows (am I allowed to use that word here??? ;-) ), but for some 
reason, the combination with RHL just doesn't seem happy.  I am 
running  all P/S2 connections, no adaptors etc....

I will try running a regular 3 button mouse and see if that makes a 
difference, along with the other suggestions placed here.

Any comments are greatly appreciated, even dirty mice ones!!!

Thanks again,
Adam N.
