 Eric,
 
 I'm sorry, nobody took care of your problem for a long time. I'm
 wondering if you're seeing the same problem with recent releases of
 FreeBSD (6.3/7.0), too?
 
 If so, can you please check if your mouse is working with a default
 configuration when not using the kvm switch? There are some kvm models
 on the market which are causing trouble (I've often seen problems when
 using a kvm switch connected to a notebook but also newer desktop
 chipsets are experiencing bad behavior).
 
 If you can't reproduce the problem anymore, please report this back so
 we can close this ticket.
 
 Thanks!

 >I posted this workaround to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, and recieved a suggestion to use the send-pr to help get it fixed in future versions. This is my first use of send-pr, so if it is done wrong, i apologise in advance.
