I've been using a Belkin OmniView 4-port for years with many different
OS's and it has worked fine.

I've been using the 4-port ps/2 versions of the Belkin box (I think their
model number is E4).  It's working fine with a 3-button Logitech mouse and
a 21in Nokia monitor at some fairly high resolutions with Linux, FreeBSD,
and OS X.

That's great for 18.00 bucks. Hell, my Belkins cost a poop-load.

It's a simple KVM, but it gets the job done

Well the Linksys IOGEAR USB one does NOT work well. The usb daemon can't

attach both the keyboard and mouse to the PS/2 multiplexor, it sees the 
keyboard but not the mouse. Its too bad really because otherwise its a
very 
nice switch.

I haven't looked much at rack mount KVM switches in several years.  I do
use an Apple G4 on my desktop with a Belkin PS/2 KVM switch and a PS/2->USB
adapter for the keyboard and mouse.
