Greetings,

I have an electronic KVM that I want to use to switch between my crappy
system, and my FreeBSD system.  The keyboard and mouse work fine on my
crappy system, but, on the FreeBSD system, they work fine on startup, but
after switching back and forth only once, the mouse (LED mouse) starts
flashing, and the keyboard only works intermittently.  After reading a bit
on the newsgroups/mailing lists, I added "flags 0x100" to the "device psm0"
line in the kernel, and recompiled it, but that did not fix the problem.
Then, I added the optional 9V adapter to the KVM, but that also did not fix
the problem.  Is there something I am missing, or does FreeBSD just not work
with a KVM?

I'm using FreeBSD 4.7-Release-p3.  The two different KVMs (both create the
same problem) are a Belkin OmniView SE, and a StarTech StarView.

Regards,

Justin P. Michel
