I have and do use KVM's successfully with Windows and Linux. I had similar problems using Belkin KVM's and have had no problems with the DSE four port KVM's. I actually connect two four port auto KVM's to two port manual switches. As has been mentioned it saves heaps on monitors and power points!

I have noticed that the DSE two port auto switches have changed in style at least and perhaps this means that they are no longer "compatible" with linux. If you can warrant the expense, perhaps check out the four port switch or the manual.

161507 2003-07-23 01:54:00 I have a Belkin 2 port KVM - Scroll mice are usually the worst.
Unplugging the mouse & plugging it back in on the fly usually resets the KVM's port (as listed with Belkins manual)
I've found real hassles under KDE with my scroll mouse when you do a KVM switch - it comes back VERY jittery, move a cm & it goes 20 versions of sideways...

Try the port reset & that should help anyways.
