I sometimes have keyboard and mouse problems after changing machines using a mechanical KVM, on a Logitech mouse. This script fixes it for me.
/usr/local/bin/switched
#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm restart /sbin/kbdrate -r 30
I run gpm in redirect -R mode as daemon gpm -t $MOUSETYPE -R -m /dev/ttyS0 and tell X11 to read from /dev/gpmdata as Protocol "MouseSystems" Device "/dev/gpmdata" not directly from the mouse; the redirect protocol is always MouseSystems, no matter what the underlying mouse type is. Restarting gpm after KVM switch then fixes everything else.
