I have the same situation.
I had to get a second mouse
and not use with the switch box.
Other option is to get cybax
digital KVM switch.
I have heard they work just fine with
Linux.

-> I have a monitor, keyboard and mouse switch box. I can

-> devices between two computers. It is just a completely
-> manual switch with
-> no intelligence or electronics.
->
-> I figured I could use it to switch between my Win and RH 6.2
-> Linux boxes.
-> It switches but when I switch back to the Linux box, the
-> mouse movement is
-> hosed. The cursor just goes everywhere with the slightest
-> of mouse motion.
->
-> Any ways to prevent this? (I have done no research
-> what-so-ever on this
-> problem. I thought I would ask before I do any work. Heh...)
