Hi, I recently purchased a fairly cheap Belkin KVM switch (I believe it was called an "E-series"), and I have noticed something strange while using it. When I switch away from and back to a computer running XFree86 on Debian, my mouse's wheel no longer works. (moving it just doesn't cause X events to occur) I haven't tested other operating systems/window systems extesively, but Windows 98 seems to handle the switch without problems.
I can recover the wheel by switching to another virtual console and back. No suspicious messages appear in any obvious place (such as /var/log/XFree86.0.log, /var/log/gdm/:0.log, or dmesg) I was wondering if anyone on this list knows why this happens. I know that the switch does some sort of "emulation" of a mouse while the mouse is being used by another computer, and it has occured to me that this could somehow be confusing the X server. However, I can't think why that would be causing this problem.
