Title: Did not work on my linux/ubuntu setup
Product review: Having read mixed reviews but some success on linux systems, I bought this kvm switch. Elegant, self contained and not too expensive. Too bad it only worked intermittently.I'm not sure if the problem had to do with not booting both computers at the same time or other strangeness but it mostly did not work.FYI:- I tried with a generic wired usb kbd/mouse form dell and another set also wired usb from logitec w/o success- I tried remapping the toggle key but it would not let me get into the reprogramming mode.I will now look for a kvm that also has a hardware switch button in case of another flaky softkey one!I've had great success in the past with a trendnet kvm (ps/2).It was rather ugly and clumsy but it worked well. I might try a usb one from them.Good luck!- CUPDATE:Today I received my replacement kvm switch: TRENDnet 2-Port USB KVM.It just WORKS!!!!Note to ubuntu (linux?) users: hit num-lock twice instead of scr-lock to switch between screens.
