One quick question for Rob: How long has it been since you changed the
batteries in your trackman? I have seen eratic behavior like this with
this and other wireless pointing devices without a KVM when the
batteries are low.

Another possibility, though it may not apply to your situation, is
multiple wireless keyboard/mouse trancievers in close proximity.
