I agree: I have a Dell720 - a re-badged lexmark thrown in when I bought a laptop. A real pain to set up, had to get a propriety driver but is now working and windoze ipp prints to it using the adobe postscript drivers. One (and only one!) doze machine will only print greyscale tho!

[gentoo-user] recommendation for/against USB and PS/2 KVM switch to work with gentoo

2005-05-02 Thread michael
Years ago, I had a heck of a time finding a KVM switch that wouldn't cause my mouse to go crazy. It's time to get a new KVM switch, one that can support USB mice (but sadly still a PS/2 keyboard). Does anyone have any recommendations, for or against, KVM switches that play well with gentoo?
