Two systems through KVM, but I don't think that's the factor.

usb mice. Originally plugged into KVM, Other machine on KVM is XP and eCS.

KVM attached mouse works there (both OS's)- both cursor and buttons.

Also plugged a 2nd USB mouse into machine with problem - both to usb port and through adapter to PS2 port. No difference.

On ecs machine, mice move cursor, but mouse buttons do not work.

Unplugging mouse2 from ecs machine USB port and plugging it into PS2 port through an adapter; no change.

Reboots didn't help.

Now here's some additional info:

- Maint partition (also eCS) on failing machine did not work with ps2 adapter ATTACHED mouse. USB mouse drivers had not been installed (old KVM was ps2 and I never updated the main part after the kvm died and was replaced).

- Linux live CD: mouse buttons work.

I think I'm looking at a hardware issue that somehow linux ducks.

from config.sys:

DEVICE=F:\OS2\BOOT\USBKBD.SYS
DEVICE=F:\OS2\BOOT\MOUSE.SYS
rem DEVICE=F:\ECS\SYSTEM\AMouse\AMOUSE.SYS SMP
rem DEVICE=F:\ECS\SYSTEM\AMouse\USBMOUSE.SYS
DEVICE=F:\OS2\BOOT\USBMOUSE.SYS
REM DEVICE=F:\OS2\BOOT\USBCOM.SYS
DEVICE=F:\OS2\BOOT\POINTDD.SYS


keyboard (PS2 keyboard through an adapter into KVM) works on both systems.

KVM has been working OK for a few weeks.

The ability to use eCS and apps without a mouse is severely limited!

HELP!

All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that the parts
you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if you can't get them
together again, there must be a reason. By all means, do not use a hammer.
