Does anyone have any experience with this KVM? I've been having trouble getting it to work with Linux, despite all the claims on the Belkin website, the packaging, and documentation claiming it works fine with Linux. I've called Belkin tech support (twice) with no luck. The first time, I was told the KVM was bad and to return it. now that I have my 2nd one, the problems are the same. The switch works fine with Windows 95 and Windows XP Home (2 of the computers connected to it dual-boot), but not hen the same systems boot into Linux (RH Linux 8.0). Tech upports answer has been to use the PS/2 ports instead. Unfortunately, this KVM is USB only!!! I've found that the problem depends on what port the computers are plugged into. For example, my newest computer (Tyan Trinity KT133 MB, Windows XP Home/RH Linux 8.0) has the least problems with th switch, but Linux has problems when computer is connected to the 2nd port on the switch. I've found similar problems with the other computers - none will work when plugged into port 2 and booting into Linux, but Windows works fine on any port. The main symptom is no recognition of the mouse (an MS Wheel Mouse Optical USB), the keyborad is usually useless , too, but not always. Other than that, the systems boot up fine. I've upgraded to kernel 2.4.19 and compiled it w/ all the USB support I'm using the normal module (not the "JE" one). The results are the same.
