For the USB mouse, I used a usb -> ps2, only issue is that from the KVM switch to the laptop, (which has a USB plug-in) I then have to convert it ps/2 -> USB. Yes I know, a big mess. But the signal is totally lost from KVM. Very strange. I might just have to get a separate mouse. Has anyone tried this: http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=36&scid=45&prid=502 Something like this would be ideal, but again I am not sure if its worth a hoot! > Any of the newer KVM switches shouldn't distort the image. I'm thinking that you have a switch that maybe only supports a resolution that's lower than the one you have? Get a good XGA or SXGA one and above all don't force your resolution higher than what the KVM switch can handle, even if your monitor and vid card is fine with it. Ideally it'd just be a physical hard-transfer of signal so it would be resolution independent but ... well to be honest I don't know why it isn't like that. As for the USB mouse, have you considered just getting a USB->PS/2 converter? PS -- Oops, almost top-posted ;-)
