Oddly enough the keyboard seems to work after the switch (most of the
time) but the mouse never does. Use of usb/kb -k and usb/usbmouse
(and successive restarts of usb/usbmouse) seems to do the trick most
of the time but it is ungainly to say the least.
Would you be willing to provide an example of a script that I could
start from profile (or whatever is reasonable) - something that would
check for a stuck usb device and restart the appropriate components?
I would give this a shot myself but I am newbie enough that I think it
would take me a long time to get to that point.
In any case, thanks for your assistance -
Matt
