Well, my experience is with Belkin (both Omni-cube and their high-end 8x2
dual-head switch), and I can confirm the problems with video quality. I've
been able to improve it somewhat by using high-end coax video cables, but
the quality's still not great.
As a side-note, the Belkin Omni-cube will lock up linux if you hook the
mouse cable up to a system (like LRP) that doesn't run GPM (or some other
mouse driver), and the keyboard will spew random garbage occasionally if
you're using a MS Natural Keyboard Elite (even after they send you the ROM's
that are supposed to fix this problem).
Sorry I haven't worked with any switches other than the Belkin, so I can't
recommend an alternative. I'd be interested if anyone has any suggenstions
for *good* KVM switches.
