The KVM is driving 64 machines and the only time I've seen it lose the
mouse like this is with this patched package. I didn't believe it at
first either, until I saw/tested it myself.

If you can produce a package with all of Alex's patches, I'd be happy
/like to test it. Like I said on IRC, this video card is in all
modern HP server hardware and it worked on old releases (i.e. this is
a regression), so I think it'd be real shame to not fix this before
release.
