How about a hardware solution? I have a Belkin OmniCube 4port KVM and use a PS/2 mouse/keyboard to USB adaptor (FRY's SKU 4071302, $9.99). It works with a Dell Latitude 610 and a Shuttle SN85G4. Spending $10 to avoid the aggravation was well worth it to me.

I tried going that route to, but found I lost use of the scroll wheel.

I have the same problem here. I used a Logitech keyboard, but i lacked the scroll tab, so that I was unable to switch between the 4 computers I used. Another problem is radiation. If a computer that is not connected to the KVM switch is started up, its imposible to use the mouses on all computers due to radiation into the KVM switch. That indeed is also a problem Erik Jakobsen

Same here with IOGEAR but only in Windows 311. AOK in 9.2 and earlier and in Win\98. I think its a logic issue. If there is logic for a keyboard interupt like Double Tap Scroll Lock then you have problems. But I am told a switch on the KVM with no logic works. BTW is yours powered or via its cables to the system? -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

I don't think it is that straight forward. Seems to be more of a case by case situation.

I have a 2-port Belkin kvm that uses scroll-lock double tap to switch. It works fine with Windows 2K with no delay of mouse functionality. (On that switch my SUSE box is command-line only, so I don't know about the mouse.)

Then I have a 4-port Belkin KVM that is manual. With it the mouse goes crazy for several seconds when I switch to XP and about 30 seconds when I switch to SUSE 9.3.

The suggestion to use USB mice with KVM switches actually makes a lot of sense.

I just remove the key binding for scroll lock from linux and it works fine here, but most people don't use the omniview se - overkill. Mike- -- Mornings: Evolution in action.
