I am setting up a linux & windows box so i got the trendnet tk205i kvm switch
the mouse and keyboard connections are all ps2
i currently have the MS wireless optical keyboard/mouse combo
the keyboard is ps2 and connects to the switch fine but the mouse is usb so i use an usb -> ps2 connector
when i boot into my windows box everything works fine

at first when i boot into my linux box, it only recognizes the keyboard
and it also recognized another usb mouse that i plugged in
but now it doesnt recognize anything

what could be causing this conflict?
i'll be reinstalling linux (RH9 btw) later today since I dont have anything on the machine yet
thx

I get the exact same problem with my GWC USB KVM in linux. It works during mandrakes and red hats installer, then nothing when it actually boots into linux.
