[olug] Belkin KVM switch problems

[gregory w zill]

Ah, yes, the dreaded KVM monster. KVM works by emulation. The stps I have 
used include starting out by getting a machine to work with the desired 
keyboard, mouse and monitor separate from the KVM. Once that is established,
then attach these items with the KVM as the only machine connected. Once that 
is established, add one machine at a time to the KVM. While you are adding 
there are various options of powering machine and or KVM panel to get 
newly added machine to work. This will depend on how robust the KVM might 
be. I have Solaris/Linux on the KVM and *had* to go through this arduous 
process after nearly chucking the KVM cause I thought it would not work at 
all. Good luck!
