Greetings, I just got a 4-port IOGear KVM and quickly found that it didn't work with my linux machine. After doing some research I found out that the fix was suppose to be in the latest kernel (2.4.19-pre8). I installed that and that still didn't fix my problem. I looked through that patch that was originally proposed with this subject and found that the 4-port KVM (0x2205) was not included in the "black list".
I added the 4-port version to the black list and everything has been running well since. Here's a patch for what I did against version kernel 2.4.19-pre8. Hope it helps, -kevin --- linux-2.4.19-pre8-before-aten-fix/drivers/usb/hid-core.c Mon May 20 14:16:51 2002 +++ linux-2.4.19-pre8/drivers/usb/hid-core.c Mon May 20 14:19:25 2002 @@ -1084,6 +1084,7 @@ #define USB_DEVICE_ID_ATEN_UC100KM 0x2004 #define USB_DEVICE_ID_ATEN_CS124U 0x2202 #define USB_DEVICE_ID_ATEN_2PORTKVM 0x2204 +#define USB_DEVICE_ID_ATEN_4PORTKVM 0x2205 struct hid_blacklist { __u16 idVendor; @@ -1113,6 +1114,7 @@ { USB_VENDOR_ID_ATEN, USB_DEVICE_ID_ATEN_UC100KM, HID_QUIRK_NOGET }, { USB_VENDOR_ID_ATEN, USB_DEVICE_ID_ATEN_CS124U, HID_QUIRK_NOGET }, { USB_VENDOR_ID_ATEN, USB_DEVICE_ID_ATEN_2PORTKVM, HID_QUIRK_NOGET }, + { USB_VENDOR_ID_ATEN, USB_DEVICE_ID_ATEN_4PORTKVM, HID_QUIRK_NOGET }, { 0, 0 } }; _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
