Does anyone know if a resolution was ever found for the problem with the
mouse losing sync with a Belkin 4-port KVM switch?  This is my KVM
switch as well.  I can confirm that the mouse does lose sync in FC2 but
was quite stable in FC1 when toggling between PCs.

CTRL-ALT-F1 and back does not seem to help nor does CTRL-ALT-BKSPC.

I am writing this from my old FC1 box as the new FC2 is unstable without
a reboot.  

BTW, my Logitech scroll mouse DOES work.

Thanks!
