FWIW, we use quite a few KVMs here for various purposes. After trying a number of brands I've settled on the IOgear MiniView SE series and have been very happy with them. Some (including the one here on my desk) are running FreeBSD and Windows together without a problem. If a KVM is going to have a problem, the mouse is where I've always seen it show up. Note that my experience only applies to the IOgear PS/2 KVMs. They also have them for USB, but I've not tried those. -- Jerry Dunham M3 Design, Inc.
