might be of interest.   Some are listed as Unix compatible.

You could attempt to locate Linux compatible equipment and then look on ebay. 

I have an old Belkin KVM around somewhere from ebay which had no trouble working with old DIN style OpenBSD 486,  another PS/2 based OpenBSD Celeron and a USB based Debian Barton box.
Hot keys didn't work but this was hardly a big drama for me as I placed the KVM in an accessible place and I mostly ssh'd into the two OpenBSD boxen, needing the KVM for specific 
irregular tasks.
