I'm not a Fedora user but I came across the thread on the linksys kvm and thought I would mention that I have had to replace TWO motherboards now after this kvm KILLED the ps/2 mouse ports on them. The first time it happed was with an older mobo which I was all too happy to replace but now its happened for a second time and I have reported this to Linksys earlier today. Both times this happened after 2 or 3 weeks of using the switch. The Linksys product support page and FAQ both mention that only ps/2 mice are supported. I am using a USB mouse with a USB-to-PS/2 adapter and it must be causing spikes when the switching occurs. I wonder how many others out there are using this kvm with usb-to-PS/2 adapters and how many are killing their ps/2 ports. I would guess there could be many as standard ps/2 mice are a rarity on store shelves these days.

Tony, if you actually get your mouse port to work again I will be VERY surprised. I'm tossing this kvm and going out to get one with better voltage protection and.... for the second time, another motherboard! Stay away from this KVM unless you like the smell of a slow roasted PS/2 port!!!
