Hi,
I apologize in advance for the length of this posting. The executive summary is:
USB KVM mouse and keyboard switching is unreliable on a couple of Linux boxes.

An small update: I have discovered that this IOGEAR product is just a relabelling of one by ATEN International Co., Ltd. In fact, IOGEAR barely changed the ATEN model number at all: ATEN: CS-1762 (2-port) / CS-1764 (4-port); IOGEAR: GCS1762 / CS1764. I found a firmware updater at the ATEN site, but it turns out the device has the latest firmware. (The release notes mention support was added for Sun, whether that means SunOS / Solaris or Sun workstations or servers, I don't know.) Nonetheless, I downloaded the firmware, but unsurprisingly, the behavior did not change. So, if no one can help me solve this problem, are there any recommendations for a good KVM that handles DVI and USB and works with Linux? It doesn't have to have the bells and whistles of the ATEN / IOGEAR model, it just has to work... Thanks again. Randall Schulz
