I can't move my mouse curser across duel monitors/extended desktop.

I have a dual monitor configuration with 4 Mac minis, an HDMI switch, and one of the Mac minis uses the extended desktop configuration. I replaced the HDMI switch with a KVM switch. My Mac mini that once had the extended desktop still displays both sides of the desktop, but the cursor will not cross to the second monitor. How is this resolved.

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

For the Mac mini that has Dual Displays,


In Displays Preference, check to make sure that the displays are arranged in the proper orientation.



In the Mission Control Preference make sure that the boxes for Spaces are unchecked.



You may also need to go back to the HDMI switch for that setup instead of the KVM switch.
