Logitech mouseIf you have a Logitech optical mouse and a KVM keyboard switch (Keyboard,
Video,Mouse), you have a
trouble. It is specifically so, if you try to use these with Linux and XWindows.Here is what Logitech says itself:
"
Logitech does not provide technical support for any of our products when they
are connected to a KVM switch. This is because a KVM switch can interfere with
communication between the Logitech device and the computer. If you have a KVM
switch and the Logitech device is not functioning correctly, please connect the
device directly to the system for a test. If the device works correctly when
connected directly to the system, but does not work when connected to the KVM,
please contact the switch manufacturer for additional help. If they cannot
provide a solution, you may need to forgo using the Logitech mouse or keyboard
through the KVM switch. We apologize for the inconvenience.
" SOLUTION !Edit your XF86Config. or xorg.conf in Slackware 9.x or 10.x (they changed from X86 to Xorg). Find there a line
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
and make it
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2".That's it !
