I'll second that. This is how I have mine configured. The mouse (MS
Intellimouse Explorer) works wonderfully in X and at the console. The
only gripe I have is that if I switch between workstations with my KVM
switch, something happens to the mouse support when I come back to my
Linux box. I have to restart the gpm daemon for things to correct
themselves. I bit of a pain, but it's not too difficult to get to the
console and restart gpm. Before setting it up this way, I had to kill
the X session with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and restart.
