[NCLUG] KRUD & KVM?

[Rich Young]

Well, I was hoping the LUG could help me avoid another twenty minutes of
snorting dust bunnies.... I haven't recabled it around the KVM switch
yet.  But a year or so ago, I used KRUD on this box without the KVM
switch and it worked fine. 

I guess I really ought to just vacuum the desk out and recable it....

Rich,
I don't have any suggestions, but I have had similar experiences with
FC2.  My problem is that if I am working with FC2 through a KVM, and I
switch to another machine and then return, the mouse control goes
haywire, with movements of the mouse causing sporadic jumps of the
pointer across the screen.  I usually have to reboot to correct the
problem.
One question though... if you hook up the peripherals directly to the
machine, does the problem disappear?  Just curious, since I could not
gather that from your e-mail.
