Hi
I've got an XP and a Debian sarge system sharing the keyboard/mouse
through a D-Link DKVM-2 KVM switch.
The problem is that when I switch from Linux to XP and then back
again, my mouse wheel stops working. I googled the issue and it looks
like it happens to a lot of people, and I'm quite lucky in that my
mouse is otherwise well behaved (i.e. not erratic).
Is there a utility I can run to reinitialize the mouse/mouse driver? I
can live without the mouse wheel, but it would be nice if I could get
it back without bouncing X.
Sometimes switching to a text console and then back into X will help.
You don't have to exit X to do this, just press Ctrl-Alt-F1 and then
once you see the text login, press Alt-F7.
HTH,
Jacob
