Well I went through several and I don't what the brand is of the one I 
got to work. I am lucky in that I am partners with a business that works 
solely with Windows. I keep swapping with them until I found the one I 
have now.

I had several one would lose the mouse and keyboard completely. I had to 
switch to the other PC and back again to have them 'restored'

The one I have now has worked since the day I plugged it in. It has the 
one cable from the back of the KVM and on the PC end the mouse and 
keyboard pop out out of the end.

I will have a look at it tomorrow and post what the brand is. I will 
also ask the guys where they got it.

Yeah the others that didn't work in Linux worked fine in Windows for me 
as well.
