I'll check it out, although the laptop is customer tied down machine so probably wont be able to use on that.

I used to use a KVM, but now use VNC instead... just as useful, except at boot time if you want to mess with the Bios - then I just plug in a small USB keyboard. It doesn't degrade the quality of the display from my main PC either.
Oh, and it's free.

I've got the wired kbd and mouse working with all 3 machines and the wireless one works OK with 2 (Tosh Laptop and Linux Server) but fails with my main PC, the lights on the reciever just go nuts.
I may just give up and buy a decent wired kbd.
cheers

It's not a Belkin one is it? I've got some serious problems with one of them in my rack.

I've got another converter today so I'll have a play tonight

The USB/PS2 converters are device-specific i.e they depend heavily on the electronics in the mouse/keyboard so won't work in generic situations like yours.

PS2 KVM and PS2 Mouse
I've just bought myself a 4 port KVM to make life simpler with my 3 machines.
http://www.startech.com/Product/Item...d=SV411KA&c=UK
I have a Logitech wireless KDB and Mouse, the PC end of the reciever has a USB and a PS2 connection, i put one of those USB/PS2 converts ont he usb end and plug it into the KVM, but the mouse does not work.
So I swap the wireless kit with wired kdb and mouse (usb) and still the mouse does not want to work.
Could it be that the USB/PS2 converter confusing the KVM. The converter works fine when plugged into a PC.Tags: None
