I just got one of the Belkin 4 ports (F1DS104U) and am having some problems. A quick search through the mailing lists revealed others having the same problems. I might have some information to shed further light (or shadow) on the problem.
Like everyone else I'm having problems with one of my linux boxes working with this, though all the windows boxes work fine. The difference is, one of my linux boxes works flawlessly. Here's the details. The linux box that doesn't work is an AMD Athlon 1GHz running on a VIA chipset motherboard. I've tried both uhci.o and usb-uhci.o with equal results as everyone else (Belkin hub detected but none of the devices, timeout messages, etc). At the lilo prompt, the keyboard works fine, so the BIOS recognizes it at lease. I've tried using and not using HIDBP as well. Now, the linux box that works grand is my IBM ThinkPad T30 (P4 1.8GHz, Intel 860 chipset). I've been using the uchi.o but usb-uhci.o would probably do just as well. Currently I've only been using HIDBP but I bet without it would work just as well. When I plug it in to the same port as the machine not working (or any other port for that matter), it detects first the Belkin hub, then the keyboard, then the first mouse, then the trackball, then the 7 port hub connected into the belkin as well. It gets everything great. Keyboard and mouse works flawlessy. The differences here, obviously, are the chipset and the fact that my laptop has a ps/2 keyboard and mouse already set up. I'm not sure if having this legacy key/mouse makes a difference. Two things I'll be trying will be: -using ACPI on the failing machine (don't think this will have an effect) -starting the machine with a ps/2 key/mouse to see if that affects anything -putting a pci usb card and seeing if it works from that What are the feelings on this. Am I the first person to have gotten a linux box to work with the Belkin KVM? -- Ti Leggett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
