I'm not looking for virtualization.. I am looking for a Keyboard/Video/Mouse switch. :D I want VGA, USB and if possible, sound shared. :D I have tried iogear and found it to be worthless! :( My old PS2 Belkin works, but only because it's powered, I think. I tried using a PS2-only iogear KVM Switch, but it wouldn't work with my USB-only Dell machine. :( -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
