I had usb switch to share keyboard and mouse for two nodes, of which freebsd worked flawlessly, but openbsd disconnected quite often and made a lot of antics in X. After all, I dismembered the configuration and now I have 2 kb-s and 2 mice. A lot of wires on the table. The plan would be to get not too expensive wireless mouse for freebsd node. Reading forums I found a lot of people having problem with those kind of mice. Could someone recommend one what is known to work on branch 9? For some reason I prefer logitech. And I assume that usb dongle works on hardware level and does not need anything to work? Best regards Zoran

Have you thought of Synergy? Chris
