           Summary: Using mouse with some KVMs causes mouse to go crazy
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Input/Mouse
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: xorg at dngnbbs.com


I have a Belkin Omniview SE 4-port KVM. It worked fine with my generic optical
wheel mouse with X11. Under Fedora Core using XOrg, changing between "desktops"
using the KVM causes the mouse to overreact and start clicking things as you
move the mouse -- i.e. you nudge the mouse and the pointer shoots clear across
the screen and starts clicking on menu options by itself.

System is an Athlon 1100 with 3/4 of a Gig of ram running Fedora Core 3 on a
Belkin Omniview SE KVM with a generic optical scroll mouse. XOrg was installed
from the Fedora RPMs and system is updated with all the latest updates from the
Fedora Project using up2date. 

I consider this to be a major headache as I am unable to use the local console
and have to rely on VNC to log into my machine, even from the local console
(from my wife's Windows box.) 

I do not believe that replacing the KVM is an acceptable answer as one day it
worked fine with RH 9, then the next day after installing FC3 over RH9, it
starts acting up. No hardware changes were made to the system.
