KVM switch and PS2 mouse FC 3

Hi,

I recently bought a KVM switch (Linksys KVM2KIT) to put between a
Windows XP box and a Fedora 3 box.  Everything was working fine on the
Fedora box before installing the switch.  After installing the switch,
the monitor and keyboard worked fine on both boxes, but the mouse was
frozen.  Rebooting the Windows box fixed the mouse problem, but on the
Fedora box the mouse is still frozen.  I did some searching and found
this bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=111161. 
This seems similar, but in the bug the behavior of the mouse is
erratic whereas mine is frozen.  I tried switching virtual terminals
and this did not help.  I tried the "psmouse.proto=bare, =imps, etc.
in that bug but nothing helped.  I then tried plugging the mouse
directly into the Fedora box, still frozen.  Rebooted, still frozen. 
Powered down, let it sit, powered up, still frozen.  Not sure what to
do now, I could give a rat's about the Windows box right now, I just
want to get the Fedora box working again.  Anyone have any ideas.

Many thanks in advance,

Tony
