I use a rotary (el-cheapo) kvm and it was trashing the mouse upon my
return until I learned to only switch it while I was at a tty ...
(ctrl+alt+Fn keys). If I remember to pop over to a tty before
switching, I sidestep the problem with the mouse altogether. I use
KDE on kernel 2.4.14 in a Mandrake 8.0 install with all software
upgraded on a regular basis. Regular ... as in 4 am today.
