What brand of KVM switch, out of curiosity?
I have a Belkin 4-port switch, and when I used it to switch between a
windows and a debian machine, the windows machine was perfectly happy,
but the mouse pointer freaked out on the debian machine. I ended up
having to log out to whatever-dm and back in again, or something stupid.
My understanding is that certain other KVM switches don't have this
problem, but I don't know which.
