I don't know that I can help you with your particular problem, but I can
tell you I have a Belkin Omni View Pro 8 Port KVM switch that works
great.  I've got it hooked up to Netware, NT, and Linux boxes.  I did
spend the extra money to get SVGA video cabling (which was a pain to
track down, by the way).  Once in a blue moon I have to hit the reset
button, but otherwise it's worked flawlessly.
