Most modern mices have some internal state that the driver needs to track. When
a kvm is used and another system changes the state of the mouse behind the back
of your system, you need to issue a reset of the mouse to a known state in order
to resync. The problem is how to detect that a reset is needed...
In the modern Linux and BSD kernels, the mouse protocol is handled in the
kernel. Issuing a reset from X may only confuse the kernel driver a bit more.
