I see something related, and actually have been seeing it for years. For=20
me, I have a MS wheel mouse (PS2) connected to my KVM, and my macppc=20
connects to it via USB. The mac runs X. Whenever I switch to my mac _and_=

it wakes X up, the mouse forgets its extra buttons. The main button and=20
the motion work, just not the other buttons (including scrolling).

Switching away and back fixes things.

KVM via USB, and it does the same thing.

Take care,

Bill
