Mouse Pointer Becomes Unresponsive and Requires Restart in OrayKVM Environment #81

Hi @No0ne,

I am currently using your project in conjunction with OrayKVM, and I've encountered an issue where the mouse pointer occasionally freezes, especially when moving windows or during rapid movements. The mouse pointer becomes unresponsive and does not recover automatically, requiring a full system restart. However, the keyboard continues to function normally.

Is this likely due to the PS/2 mouse output logic freezing? If so, is there a way to perform a soft reset of just the mouse's PS/2 output, or even better, a method to restart the entire converter via keyboard commands?

Specifically:

Is there a soft reset mechanism for the mouse's PS/2 output?
If not, can the entire converter be restarted via a keyboard command sequence?
Are there any known workarounds or configurations that might help mitigate this issue?
Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your help and support.

Can you ship an OrayKVM to Austria?

I had similar experience in two exotic cases. Minimig and Unamiga, hardware FPGA Amiga (500/1200) emulators. Keyboard works, but kinda "sticky", keys have a tendency to remain "pressed", and mouse freezes after 10-15 seconds. Haven't tried 200 Hz version, only plain and 100 Hz, it freezes sooner with 100 Hz version.

At first I thought I soldered something wrong, but when I tried it on PC with PS/2 ports it worked without any problems. So I guess it's something to do with how they implemented PS/2 support on these things...
