[K12OSN] Wireless presenter on a thin client

[sysadmin]

Has anyone got one to work?
Here is our scenario.  Teachers have thin clients 
on their desks, to which is connected a projector 
via a VGA splitter.  This all works fine; they 
can show via the projector, what is on their 
screens.

One of the teachers wants to be able to walk 
around and control this mouse, to show the boys 
what to click on.  Our clients have PS/2 mice and 
USB ports and we noticed that if you plug a USB 
mouse in, it works fine - having two mice on a 
client is great fun :-)

Next we tried a wireless mouse (normal PC type) 
with a USB receiver and this too worked fine, 
except the range was very limited.  Finally we 
purchased one of these www.targus.com/uk/
product_details.asp?sku=AMP02EU and plugged it 
in.  The mouse pointed can be moved vertically 
but not horizontally.  On a stand alone linux box 
it works perfectly.  Is this a client problem, or 
a problem with the device?  We were expecting it 
just to work, especially as USB mice do.

Help!
