i gotta hand it to ya. Although that is quite possibly the most annoying way of fixing the problem. It works.
you have to "su" first, then execute the command (i created a mouse.sh file).
This is really quite sad, but at least I can do get the mouse working without rebooting. Untill there's a better solution - Thank you!

i have a belkin 2 port omniview and same problem sorta..
if i hit ESC a few times that usually fixes my mouse but it is quite annoying. occasionally it also locks the Shift key on ... took me a few minutes today to figure out that it was locked and pressing the shift would release it. i was in the middle of an emerge -e system so i didn't wanna reboot... luckily i figured it out. Also this only happens when there is another computer powered on. I don't have to be switching back and forth if i leave the mouse alone for a few minutes it goes haywire for a bit ... if only my main system is on it behaves normally
I am in luck because I just purchased a new computer and i need a 4 port kvm. Anyone having problems with the D-link kvm's? other suggestions would be appreciated.

I have had the same problem on my previous distro Mandrake and using the Belko KVM.
In the past I could simply solve it by switching to terminal mode and back again. After one of Mandrakes updates that option was gone so I passed by using append the option to /etc/lilo.conf and this cleared the jumping mouse. Unfortunate it also disables the scroll wheel.
I have not yet tried it on the Gentoo distro. As I am at this moment still tweaking it. When I have time I will see what it will bring.
The reconnect worked perfect.
To bad you will need to have an terminal open. Or go to the console. |

Anyone up to testing some patches? If so what kernel version is most convenient - I can do vanilla 2.6.11, 2.6.11.6 or 2.6.12-rc[23]?

Fine by me. I'm running 2.6.11-gentoo-r3 at the moment (which may or may not be the latest version in production). I don't mind bumping up to any amd64 keyworded version which is newer. I'd rather not run an RC kernel, although I could boot to it just to test out the mouse I suppose (I'd rather use the patch in a kernel I could otherwise keep using without fear of a botched filesystem). |

Ok, I am not sure what 2.6.11-gentoo-r3 exactly is (I usually run the latest pull from linus + my patches), but I will do one for vanilla 2.6.11.6 later tonight.

I use a logitech MX510 with a D-Link DKVM-4 4 port kvm switch. I had this same problem as everyone else and was using IPMS/2 for a while but recently figured out that:
solved the problem. Along with:
| Code: |
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
|
in my xorg.conf. |

Ok, here is the patch:
http://www.geocities.com/dt_or/input/2_6_11/psmouse-resync-2.6.11.patch.gz
If geocities give a fuss about directlinking try going into 2_6_11 directory first:
http://www.geocities.com/dt_or/input/2_6_11/
It should apply to all 2.6.11.x (well, I tested with 2.6.11.6 but nothing was cahnged in psmouse code for .7 or .8 ).
The idea is the follwing: if there was no data from the mouse for extended period of time (currently 5 sec), then next time we get a byte we use POLL command to verify packet size and validate protocol.
Please let me know if it works for you.
Thanks!

Try adding psmouse_noext=1 as a boot parameter to your kernel. I haven't had that problem in some time so I don't know if it works or not. That parameter, however, seems to ring a bell. Can't hurt to try!
Indidentally I'm not currently using that parameter because the problem hasn't come my way in well over a year. Not sure what is different other than using a newer kernel... |

Thank you for testing it.
Anyone else? Pretty please... I'd like to put this issue to rest once and for all...

Second patch is working as well.
With the first patch I didn't notice the stickeyness.
But did notice that when I was switching to my *eeks* work windows laptop it takes about 2 seconds before mouse will function.
Switching back to gentoo its down to 0 seconds. And the best part is I can use the scroll wheel. Which I couldn't before using the boot option.
This is really great.
Many thanks |

That seems to work fine for me as well. I did notice some stickiness in the original patch when the mouse was idle for a while. I haven't noticed it in the short time that I've been using the second patch.
You'll definitely need to submit this patch to the powers-that-be! |

Can someone explain to me how to use this patch? I'm having the same problem 2.6.11-r9
Belkin KVM, optical mouse, crazymouse happens, and switching consoles no longer works, like it did in 2.4
PS - I am seeing these errors in dmesg:
| Quote: | psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 3 bytes away.
psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 3 bytes away.
psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 3 bytes away.
psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 3 bytes away.

I've tried all three of these - even the commented out lines (did the boot options awhile back, those didn't work either).
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
#Option "Protocol" "auto"
#Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
#Option "Resolution" "300"
EndSection

This is how I have done it.
Download the patch. Copy and extract it to /usr/src.
go into the /usr/src/linux directory which is dynamicaly linked to you current source.
Than patch the kernel source :
patch -Np1 -i ../psmouse-resync-2.6.11-v2.patch
If I remember correctly you will see that two files have been patched.
Rebuild the kernel. And reboot with the new kernel. |

I assume the latest file to get would be the v11? or does that correlated with the r11 on the kernel source?

w000 hoooo......mouse works now!! I can switch with KVM again!!
this makes me really happy. Thanks to whoever contributed to that fix.
I'm curious when that patch will be part of the standard kernel?

I was thinking about getting it in -mm in a week or so... I am not sure if it's gonna make in 2.6.13 - there are some rough edges when used with ALPS touchpads.

I don't know if this is related to the patch or not, I'm on a pretty slow system P3-600 with 512MB ram.
But when I use the Ctrl+Scrollwheel in FireFox (to increase/decrease font size). There's quite a bit of delay in resizing the fonts. Around 5-10 seconds. The browser freezes up momentarily.
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this problem, or if it's just my weak computer and graphics card trying to redraw the screen.

| I have one of the Belkin SOHO series 2-port PS/2 KVM switches...I have the same problem with switching PC's. It's definitely a hardware issue between the KVM and the mouse though, as it affects Windows XP, Windows ME, and Linux all the same way...scroll wheel doesn't work, mouse speed gets messed up. Unplugging the mouse from the KVM and plugging it back in (which is safe in this case, as you aren't unplugging anything from the PS/2 ports on the PC) works, it fixes the issue immediately whether I'm using Linux, WinME, or WinXP. This is listed as a troubleshooting procedure in the KVM manual. In my case, the switch is flash upgradeable...I already sent an email to Belkin regarding this, I'm hoping they release a firmware patch that will reset the mouse and keyboard properly after switching PC's. Other than this, I'm perfectly happy with the KVM switch. |

The kernel patch fixes it, if you're still having problems.

Look for "serio2: PS/2 mouse driver".
Unfortunately we do not have solution for automatic protocol reset. Yet. |
Thanks for this info.
BTW, this problem started in my case when I plugged a MS IntelliMouse 1.1A into a Belkin F1DS104P. I had been using a generic Logitech wheel mouse, I call it generic as it does not have any model number, without any problem. In fact, I switched back to the Logitech mouse and it went away. Perhaps this is not a Belkin problem? Perhaps Belkin+Intellimouse/MS combo related? Wondering if anybody had erratic mouse behaviour with a non MS mouse on a belkin soho switch.
cheers
