 Thanks for the reply

I just tried this but to no avail. I had tried a few other options, but not
this one.

I also see where my console mouse is messed up also - it acts like I'm
hitting a button when I just move it.

I'll keep trying, but it looks like I'm headed back to RH 9 or a different
KVM. I know this KVM/mouse combo worked with RH 7.3, but I prefer to stay as
current as possible.

Thanks again
