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 -- "If builders built buildings the way programmers write programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization." - anon
