I used to have a 4 port Linksys (low end) PS/2 KVM, and recently I switched to a Belkin 2-port USB that I use at work to switch between my corporate Windows Thinkpad and the HP Integrity (IA64) server under my desk. It generally works fine. The reason that some of these are not supported under Linux is that they supply software you can use to switch without having to press a button. On occasion, I have switched and lost the keyboard, but a switch back and forth usually clears the problem. Another problem I've had was that somehow the Linux side behaves as if I have Caps Lock on and can't turn it off, but I've only seen that happen twice. I've also used a relatively high end Cybex (now Switchview).
