LINDY CPU Switch Dual Multi-Platform          Installation and Use 

Page 23 

If you have switched off your LINDY CPU Switch or you are attempting to ‘hot plug’ it 

into a system that is already running, you may be able to restore lost mouse 

movement using the LINDY CPU Switch's mouse restoration functions.  

 

Mouse restoration functions should be used with care as unpredictable results 

may occur if the wrong mouse type is selected. If in doubt restore the mouse 

by powering down the PC normally. 

 

Standard PS/2 mouse data uses a different data format to IntelliMouse data and so 

two reset functions are provided on the LINDY CPU Switch. The type of data format 

expected by the PC depends upon the driver and the type of mouse that was 

connected when the driver was booted. The following table may be used as a guide. 

Note that the mouse reset functions predict the likely mouse resolution settings but 

may not restore the speed or sensitivity of the mouse exactly as they were when the 

PC originally booted.
