Hi everyone,

We are having a strange problem with one of our Terminal Servers at the
middle school.

Recently, we got a new server with a Supermicro board and we found out
that the onboard nics on some of the new Supermicro motherboards aren't
compatible with some switches. So we installed two seperate gigabit eth.
controllers and installed them.

We did have some trouble getting the onboard nics turned off, but we
eventually got eth0 and eth1 working on the server. The terminals are now
booting up and the server can connect to the internet.

Strange though.. on the terminals, the mouse isn't working anymore! It
wants to keep going back to the bottom-left hand side. Its the same
behavio you'd expect if the mouse was not plugged in all the way in the
back of the terminal. BUT, all the terminals are having the same problem.

Does anyone know what we can do to get the mouse working on the terminals
again?

Thanks!
