Default kbd/mouse issues with a kvm switch

I slackware (with a KVM switch) my mouse doesn't work in the console. When I
boot to xwin, regaurdless of which window manager I use, the mouse and
keyboard quit working. I have tried 3 difference mice and still no luck.

Anyone else had this problem with or without a kvm switch?

Yeah gpm is running. I isn't working though. When I move my mouse in
console, my keyboard ceases to work.

Ok, that was stupid of me. I have a USB mouse and had to use a ps/2 adapter
to hook it up to the kvm switch. There's a setting in the bios for "ps/2
mouse support"

All is well now

I'm a happy slacker
