HI all,

I have a Belkin OmniCube 2-port KVM switch that switches my monitor and 
keyboard and mouse between 2 machines.. and for some reason, during certain 
times when i switch the devices from one box to another and back (netbsd and 
win2k), my mouse input gets disrupted (mess up) and the mouse pointer go 
crazy (all over the place).. i was just wondering if anyone else has 
experience this before.. and if so.. how to solve this problem. is there 
some way to reset. re-register the mouse if it messes up?.. the only way i 
can solve it now is to reboot :P

my mouse is a microsoft ps/2 i believe but for some reason the only 
configuration that works when i configure X is /dev/wmouse and protocol 
wmouse...

keyboard and monitor works fine when i switch back and forth.. for win2k 
this happens too.. sometimes my mouse wont move but then if i switch to 
another port and back.. it will work..  however, for netbsd this doesnt cut 
it.. please advise.. any help would be greatly appreciated! :))

anthony
