Ok, I have had Yarrow working well for a while now, but yesterday I started experiencing some odd issues with my mouse. All of a sudden it stops working correctly. The only thing that seems to fix is to kill X and run mouse-test, then restart.
Any ideas?
Also, I have FC 1 running on a desktop which is hooked up to a KVM switch. Whenever I go to another PC, and return, the same thing happens, the mouse goes crazy.

what happens if you stop 'gpm' # service gpm stop

you should find something about in the archives http://www.redhat.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=mouse+kvm+crazy&ps=20&o=0...
Do you have a Belkin KVM? I have the same problem here. I solved it by using the Logitech PS/2 mouse+ driver. However my scroll doesn't work. HOWEVER-> this trick doesn't work with the 2.6test kernel. Anyone have more insight?

This isn't a solution but the problem may be related to the issue addressed in the release notes of 2.6test10:
torvalds@home.osdl.org Don't force PS/2 mouse rate or resolution by default. Only set the rate/resolution if the user actually asked for it. Some mice and KVM switches don't like to have their rate forced.
Don't know if that change has been backported.

I've long run into this with my Belkin KVM when switching to my Red Hat system (although strangely enough not yet on Fedora.) Switching to a text only console via <ctrl><shift><f1> and back to <f7> usually cleared it up. The work around worked so I never looked deeper.

I had the same problem with my Belkin KVM. I wasn't willing to live without the wheel, and tried many ideas and hacks to get it to work. In the end I stopped using it. Later I bought a IOgear Miniview SE. It doesn't have the the problem. I have had it act up a few times, but I think those were recent kernel/X quirks more than a real problem with the KVM. I am quite happy with it.

Unplug the mouse from the KVM, and plug it directly into the PC, then reconfigure the mouse to make sure the proper protocol is being used.
Does the mouse work in this configuration? If so, then your KVM is interfering with the mouse protocol. Bugzilla bug alias "KVM" has more detailed information about KVMs and their interaction with X.
Since the first day that Fedora Core 1 was released I have been using it and I have tested in all differents manner and I have not had any kind of problems. In my own personal opinion It runs much better than RedHat 9 and I like it more than RH9, I have purchased and installed the Redhat Professional workstation and it runs pretty good. I have been using an usb optical mouse and it works fine.
