I've
found these to be good. And they allow FULL mouse & keyboard detection, and
bi-directional comms. (They will give you battery status on Cordless Keyboards
& Mice) Plus these are great with high res Monitors

Subject: Re: ghosting on LCD
flatpanel through KVM switch
If you ever find an optimal
KVM please let me know because I have looked high and low and can't find
one. I use a 24" Sun LCD and the biggest beef is the KVM won't
support the right frequency at higher resolutions. The second is that the KVM
won't properly transmit the video identifier signals to the OS so Linux says
something like "I have no idea what display you have". Same goes for Solaris
or WinCrap.
IF everything is perfect when the display is directly connected
to the computer then make sure the video cable is lying in the same physical
spot as when it is connected to the KVM (i.e. don't lay it next to a bunch of
power cables when you connect it to the KVM). If all that is OK then I
know Black Box has an in-line video sequencer (I think sequencer is the
correct name, not sure). Anyways, it goes in-line on your video cable
and you can tweak all sorts of video signals to get desired effects.
Don't know it will help your sit.
As fas a KVMs go I've always used Cybex
(now called Avocent). They seem to have the better products. But
when the whole industry product (KVMs) in general are less then optimal that
is not quite a grand distinction. Plus, they cost more than most.
Sigh...

experienced sub-optimal display on a Sony Viewsonic 18" LCD flatpanel
through a KVM switch? The KVM switch I have is pretty cheap. The
fonts are ghosted, although the redhat-config-xfree86 finds the monitor
correctly.
BTW, I have the resolution configured to match the LCD
display's native resolution, this is definitely a KVM-related problem, not
something else (i.e., display is perfect if the video feed from the nVidia
GeForce2 card on a VGA cable goes directly to the display and not through
the KVM switch). Oh, I'm running VGA not DVI.
Thanks.
