I have two computers which share the same keyboard, video, and mouse, via a KVM switch. I can switch from one computer to the other by a sequence of key presses on the keyboard. As long as I boot up with the KVM switch connected to my W98SE machine, the mouse will work just fine. It's a brand new Logitech optical PS/2 mouse. If I switch over to the other computer and back again, that is essentially the same as disconnecting and reconnecting the mouse without rebooting. When I do that, the mouse goes haywire.

Is there the faintest chance that this problem could be fixed in software?

Thanks for your attention.
