Does FreeBSD have any information on how to get KVM switches to work with
the OS?

Need information on how to get a KVM switch to work with the FreeBSD mouse
driver.
The Monitor and keyboard work fine but I have to hook a mouse directly to
the box for it to work.
Thanks,

Can you be a little more specific about what kind of KVM?
I had a 4 port VGA/DB9/AT switch that ran fine for years;
eventually the hardware bits wore out and frequently

Please excuse my top-posting. But again,
I am willing to wager that it is the KVM switch itself that is the problem.
I have had a few problems KVM switches before.
1) We have a Compaq Proliant 1600. On certain KVMs, the keyboard world drop
keystrokes. It was impossible to use. I switched the KVM out with a cheap 2

This is a problem that has been talked about in the past on this mailing

Did you try unplugging the mouse then pluggin it back in when it goes

This works on my Linux/win2K/NT4 setup at work when it happens.

You're not alone - I've had the same trouble with an
ATEN switch and FreeBSD 4.3 - 4.5. My keyboard trouble
was solved by switching away from an IBM keyboard to a
Logitech (and now a Keytronic, when the Logitech died).
I looked at the mouse driver code and it *appears* that

It will all work properly if you quit using belkin KVM's, they are too
expensive. Try this :
http://www.dlink.com/products/Business/kvm/
we run dlink 4 port KVM with no probs at all, buy belkin and you apparently
pay for the name. We use for web, mail and 2 DNS servers, no switch probs

I have no problems with FreeBSD and my Belkin 4 port Pro KVM switch. The
system will boot fine regardless of where the switch is positioned. No
configuration changes to the kernel or nuttin.
I have had some problems with switching to another device and back to my
W2k machine and not having my M
I also have the problem that the KVM must be set to the machine being booted
in order for the mouse and keyboard to work properly. This is a know problem
and there was discussion on it. The problem seems to have appeared with 4.2.
I saw a fix in the freebsd-stable archives:

...or try using the more expensive Belkin KVMs. I have a Belkin F1DS104T

I really really really wouldn't be so quick to assume the problem is
FreeBSD. In my experience, Belkin's are not very good KVMs, I won't
use them any more, personally. I've had problems with them not
