For what it's worth, I have a cheap 4 port KVM which works fine (scroll wheel and all) with Win2k, FBSD 4.10, FBSD5.2 etc. As long as I use a PS2 mouse, if I use a converter on either end it none of the machines recognize the mouse in varying degrees of failure.

Okey, so I should try and test with a real PS/2 mouse. Well it could solve the problem. As I said erlier my brand is a LevelOne, and on the homepage it says that it support FreeBSD. The mouse be the problem, I have to check it out.


My KVM is marked "PS-104" on the front, but I can't see any visible brand names its buried so I can't dig it out. It supports hotkeys, and works fine with PS2 keyboards/mice. It fails if you attach a USB mouse with a USB/PS2 converter, or if you use a PS2/USB converter to attach it to a USB port on the PC.

I have no clue, but perhaps the signals from a USB mouse/keyboard is not the same as from a PS/2 mouse. The might be some diffrences in any case.


I've just resigned myself to use a PS2 mouse with my KVM, and hoping it doesn't break.

Joe.

As long as I can get a descent optical mouse with scroll wheel, I should manage it. :)

I had the same problems with a 4-port KVM.
I am using a 2-port KVM successfully between an XP box and a FreeBSD 4.10 box. I've found that the scroll wheel doesn't work after switching back to Windows unless I also "reset" the KVM (Scroll Lock twice + End), but that's not a big deal.



I have tryed to reset/rescan but it does not seem to help or even work. But I will try it out. It says for Auto Scan:


"To start Auto Scan automatically scans all ports one by one at a fixed interval:

"left Ctrl + left Ctrl + F1"

But that does not help or even work, but perhaps im doing something wrong. Manual scan is the same but F2 instead of F1.

Perhaps the problem is the mouse, Im using a "Logitech Click! optical mouse". I have also tried my trackball "Marbel Mouse" and both are USB with a PS/2 converter. Perhaps that is the problem, but then again I have tryed a none mouse as well. But still that did not solve the problem.

Here's the 2-port KVM switch:
