[TriLUG] linuux mouse kvm problems

[Joseph Tate]

No, I haven't looked at the manual.  I'll definitely look.  I've got the 
ps2 version.

As for the wireless mice: I don't get the wheel in linux, and if you've 
got a fourth/fifth button it/they won't show up in either windows or 
linux.  Very inconvenient.  This with both of my wireless Logitech mice. 
 Contact with IoGear's tech support resulted in "oh, we don't support 
wireless mice", even though the MouseMan+ (which I have the wireless 
version of) is clearly marked on the box as supported.
