KVM issue

[amerigo5 amerigo5]

Yes, I am using PS2 switch on OmniView instead of USB.

One thing I notice during startup/booting is that I get the following 
errors:

Modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting pciehp 
(/libmodules/2.6.8.1-3.386/kernel/drivers/pci/hotplug/pciehp.ko) Operation 
not permitted.

Modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting shpchp 
(/libmodules/2.6.8.1-3.386/kernel/drivers/pci/hotplug/shpchp.ko) Operation 
not permitted.

Thank you for the input.

George

I use a OmniView™ SOHO Series 4-Port USB KVM Switch with Audio (Belkin
part #F1DS104U) and it works just fine. I'm guessing you are using a
PS2 switch. My keyboard and mouse use USB, so hotplug actually
loads/unloads the devices when I switch. When I switch to a windows or
mac machine the keyboard and mouse are ready almost right away, my
ubuntu machine takes a couple seconds, but it's not a big deal.

I've seen PS2 KVMs go nutty with the mouse before. A few things you
could try on the Linux machine is using gpm instead of the actual
mouse device under X. There might be some trick you could work out
with /dev/input/mice....but I don't know of any.
