Try using software. I have a video switch only and use synergy to share a
wireless keyboard and mouse across my W2K system and Redhat machine on my
network ....works awesome. Look here http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ for
info. It's as simple as scrolling across defined screens for mouse and
keyboard context to switch. The key however is that you have a simple $10
video switch for display switching.

Subject: RE: Linksys KVM switch


John,

I don't have a Linksys KVM, but I had some issues with Red Hat (and Solaris
x86) when using KVM switches (Black Box, Protec and Belkin).

The problem I have experienced with both Gnome and KDE is that I lose
control of the mouse cursor when I go back to Linux (From 2000 or XP). It is
so uncontrollable that usually have to power off the PC.  I ended up placing
a logoff icon in the taskbar so that I can get to it via keyboard navigation
to do a clean logoff. It doesn't happen all the time, but it happens enough
to be extremely annoying.

I must say it is better than a dual boot solution though.

Good luck,

Jim

Subject: Linksys KVM switch

I'm considering getting a Linksys ProConnect Integrated KVM 2 Port switch to
use on my RH 8.0 box and a Win98 box.  Has anyone ever used this switch on a
Linux box?  Is there any reason it shouldn't work?

Thanks,

John Guynn
