Kevin, James,
Thanks for your replies...
Upon further inspection I've noticed that disconnecting the KB/Mouse and
then re-connecting them works on Mandrake 10.0.. They must have fixed it
from 9.2 (when I last tried it out).
I think I'll have to go with the Analog one, since I don't have enough
cash to buy a digital one yet (I'm un-employed hehe). Oh, thanks for the
offer James, but I know this guy, who knows this guy, who knows this
other guy... Who can probably get me one free!
Thanks again,
Keith

Hey Kevin I bet you had a fscked up switch then :) As regards to Keith's
last comment, that's a known bug in X Windows - in fact if you log out
to the login screen, it will work again. It works also in text-mode
only.

I am using a KVM switch (4-port) which works fine (switching between 2
linux
boxes and 1 window$ box)
Make sure it is one with an electronic switch because the old manual
switch
type will likely destroy keyboard / serial buffers when it switches
on/off
the +5v line - giving you a useless mainboard.
This is from painful experience, by the way.
I sorted it out with about Lm35 , including all cables.

Subject: [LINUX.ORG.MT] KVM Switches and GNU/Linux
Hey Guys,
Seems like I'm the only one who ever asks questions here... Is it me
who's
an idiot or you who are geniuses? lol...
Anyway, I'd like to buy a 2-way KVM switch. I've heard that there are
two
types, those which fool the PC not using KVM that it is using KVM and
those
who simply disconnect KVM from one PC and activate another.
Could anyone please tell me the proper names for them?
Will the second type work on GNU/Linux? Disconnecting my keyboard and
connecting it back again doesn't work, so it think it may cause
problems.
Thanks,
