[NCLUG] KRUD & KVM?

I have been updating four boxes with krud since FC1 through a KVM switch
with no problems at all. I have also installed new through the switch. I
switch from box to box while the install is going on, still, not problems.
I do have a two machine switch at work that I am beginning to suspect
causing eradic behavoir on a FC3 box. Every now and then, the mouse
movement makes the screen go crazy. I was thinking the user was kicking
the connector (under desk on floor)

 Well, I was hoping the LUG could help me avoid another twenty minutes of
