I've got a rotary switch box, not a real KVM. Is there any solution to this problem without a real KVM? -----Original Message----- From: Greg Scott [mailto:gscott@asimware.com] Sent: Saturday, August 12, 2000 11:27 AM To: Thomas Chen(=B3=AF=A7=D3=A9=F7) Cc: freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG; freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Data Switch kills Mouse(PS/2) > I've got a data switch to connect all my three PCs' Monitor, Mouse, Keyboard > together, so that I can use one Mouse(PS/2), Keyboard(PS/2) to = control all > of them. > When I switch one to another, Everything's OK in win98 PC, but = something > wrong in my FreeBSD(4.0r).

If a switchbox, then yes, you will have problems since they do not maintain the CLK/DATA lines to the computer they are connected to, so = when you do switch back to them, they will more than likelty be out of sync. This is what a proper KVM is for. It maintains those signals to the computers so you do not lose sync. -- Greg Scott | Asimware Innovations Inc.
