<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I am using a KVM Belkin switch between a Linux box and a
Win 2000 box. The only problem I have is that sometimes the mouse
goes erratic on switch over, and it needs the mouse line to the switch to be
unplugged and replugged. I am using the keyboard to switch between
machines.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Otherwise no hassle, I find it very
convenient. Just make sure that the various imput/output
cables are firmly plugged into the KVM. I don't think this has anything to
do with Linux as such it is the switch.</FONT></DIV>

KVM</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is any one in the LUG using Linux with a KVM,
more to the point can any one suggest why when using a KVM with
Linux<BR>sometimes I switch over and all is fine, a few minutes later however
I switch over again and the keyboard fails to work. seems to be related to the
shift keys because sometimes when you push them a few times (Bash them more
like) it starts to go again, I have tested on different keyboards as well but
the hardware at the moment is as follows.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
