I want to add something to this discussion. I had a Logitech WheelMouse connected to a Linksys KVM2KIT. Everything worked fine except that when I switched to the Linux FC1 box, running RH8 and updated to FC1, the functionality of the wheel stopped. Now with FC2 I recovered that functionality!!

I am looking at Fedora Core 2 through a Zonet KVM3004 at this very moment, on the screen next to this one. [NumLock][NumLock]2 Now I am looking at Redhat 7.3 . [NumLock][NumLock]3 Now I am looking at Solaris 9 on an UltraSparc 2. (connected through an interface converter). [NumLock][NumLock]4 Now I am looking at Windoze NT (erase, erase!) [NumLock][NumLock]1 Back to Fedora Core 2. I suppose what they mean by "not support" is, "if you try to balance a stack of Fedora Core 2 Install CDs on top of the curved Zonet case, they will slide off". Alternately, they may be referring to the difficulty of uploading a distro to run on the KVM hardware itself. Or possibly, just possibly, Zonet has a blithering idiot answering email who cannot read the KVM3004 box, which states quite clearly that it works with Linux (and how could it not?). For a picture of the back of the box, see http://www.keithl.com/kvm3004.jpg . Dwaine, thank you for contacting Zonet for us. I'm glad that there are people on this list who have the gumption to do research. Now, however, you must contact Zonet management and let them know that their competitors are hacking their email, or their employee roster. --- All kidding aside, the Zonet KVM3004 works just fine. It comes with cables (though you may want some longer ones), the resolution is good, and it is inexpensive. I can boot computer A while using computer B, and A will get the necessary info to set up keyboard, display, and PS/2 mouse. My only (minor) complaint is form factor; it would be nice to have all those cables running out the back of the case rather than off the sides, but that would be more expensive to build.
