For what it's worth, I have a cheap 4 port KVM which works fine (scroll wheel and all) with Win2k, FBSD 4.10, FBSD5.2 etc. As long as I use a PS2 mouse, if I use a converter on either end it none of the machines recognize the mouse in varying degrees of failure. My KVM is marked "PS-104" on the front, but I can't see any visible brand names its buried so I can't dig it out. It supports hotkeys, and works fine with PS2 keyboards/mice. It fails if you attach a USB mouse with a USB/PS2 converter, or if you use a PS2/USB converter to attach it to a USB port on the PC. I've just resigned myself to use a PS2 mouse with my KVM, and hoping it doesn't break. Joe.
