I'm willing to gamble $5 on a company I've never heard of. If it works with my KVM it'll be great (and I'll be able to return the $16 cable that doesn't work). Even if it just works with my keyboard and mouse I'll be able to return the cable. How can I lose??? David -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
