I have been using a Belkin OmniCube 4-Port KVM for about 2 years without any of these problems. However, I do not use a wheel mouse with the KVM and only use PS/2 keboard and mouse.Can anyone recommend a good 4-port (or thereabout) KVM switch? I need one which can handle USB keyboard and mouse inputs, and it would be a plus (but definitely not required) if it can accommodate both USB and PS/2 outputs.Well, I have a Belkin SOHO 4-port (PS/2) that exhibits X issues. If I'm using a wheel mouse (IMPS/2) and switch ports, the mouse goes crazy. One generally knowledgeable person hinted that USB mice might not have such an issue, but did not have any hard evidence to that effect. I've heard good Linux reports for the Avocent units also.
I had been told that there was an error with these KVM's when using a wheel mouse. I had also been told that you could download a script to fix this error. Unfortunately I never looked into this and so cannot confirm if this is true. It also seems that Belkin dont make this model anymore, I cannot find it on there website.
I have been running X successfuly through the Berkin at resoultions of 1700 x 1300 (ish) without any real issues, except that when I use scroll lock and a number key to jump between machines it sends that key code to the application on the machine that is jumped to. I have used it with Woody and Sarge distribution of Linux and a windoze 2000 (sic) machine attached.
