With mine, the system will boot fine with the kvm pointed to it, but the keyboard/mouse will not work until I unplug the usb cable and plug it back in. Like yours, mine is fine if the kvm is not pointed to it at boot. An Asus A7V333 works perfectly. In my case, a possible explanation of the problem is that I have a usb extension cable between the iogear and the troublesome system, with a total length of about 25 ft. So I can't really complain if things don't work to spec. -- Barney Wolff http://www.databus.com/bwresume.pdf I'm available by contract or FT, in the NYC metro area or via the 'Net.
