SubjectRe: mouse problems in 2.4.2
I'm experiencing the same thing with an ASUS P5A-B running a K6-2/266 with 
Linux 2.2.17, and Windows 98. Central problem appears to be the KVM
switch I'm using. Save yourself the problem.

I had to reboot all the systems to get regular mouse operation back with
the Logitech.
