Thanks! If the machines on the KVM are all the same, you should have no problem. This is what I have at work. At home, however, the hardware is pretty varied (one factory Dell, the other is a frankenstein). In order to get it to work, I had to limit the KVM use to just the KV, and hook two mice directly to the system. Other than this, no problems.
