sometimes ... the el cheapo ( generic ) mice makes a difference

- test with the real ms mouse on both servers when you switch the kvm
  and if it dies .... its the kvm box

- if it almost works ...
	ctl-alt-F1  and back into X11 usually fixed it for me

- restart gpm in console sometimes helps
- mouseconfig alsoo sometimes helped

- manual kb/video switching always works..

and nope... i use $3 generic mice ... and it definitely
depends on the mb bios  and x11 server
