erratic mouse on redhat with kvm switch

[raygg]

Trying to use a trial copy of redhat v4 AS server on 32bit x86 machine - the initial software is installed ok but everytime I switch to another box and then back again the mouse behaves erratically. This never occurred when I switched among systems running any flavor of Windows or solaris 8 or 9. The only posting I could find says to add psmouse.proto=imps to /etc/grub.conf. Cannot do this as that is a link to /boot/grub/grub.conf. Tried adding that to the latter but no luck.

You have a wheel mouse, correct? Change the mouse protocol to ps2 instead of imps2 then restart gpm and/or X to activate the changes. The KVM doesn't emulate the wheel properly.

Have Fun!

I have a kvm switch with a wheel mouse that works perfectly

Here is my setup

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection

Cheers
