Excellent discussion about Synergy, guys. I need to review that as
well. I made it work, once, and got distracted away.
For the record, I have two of the Startech.com 4x2, DVI, USB KVM . They
work as advertised; with all the limitations noted by Paul. There is
nothing that says you can't lie to the KVM by which computer you connect
to a given port but that only goes so far.
On one of my KVM, I have the usual four systems with two monitor ports
each (both "DVI" and/or cabled to DVI"). One system has four monitors,
two connected to the KVM and two free standing. For those instances
(like Nagios for example) where I have an application that I wish to
remain visible even when the KVM gets switched, I use monitor 3 or 4
on that system. I still have to change the KVM if the application
requires keyboard or mouse.
I bought the first Startech new and found it overpriced for what it is.
Got the second off eBay.

Just curious, does anyone run a modern (DVI/HDMI) KVM at home? I've got
2 monitors, 2 keyboards, and 2 mice, for 2 computers (work Win-doze, and
personal Linux) on my desk at home.
I've read up on software "KVM switching". They should leave out the V as
it does no video switching. That would allow me to go to 1 kbd and
mouse. However, switching which monitor is connected to which computer
would be nice too.
Just curious if anyone is using one, and if so which one?
