[Herefordshire] Linux 'V' KVM

[Noel McG.]

Hello,

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.

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.

Noel.

  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
  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.

  Keyboard is a micro$oft natural (Sorry) 
  Mouse is a Microsoft optical
  KVM is a belkin 2 port, I also have a 4 port old rackmount KVM that causes the same problems.
  can any one help ?

  PS www.lugradio.org <--- one I have found on my LUG quest today, if you have not seen this site I highly recommend it, download the recent episode and im sure you will love it ! one for the links page on the web site maybe ?
