hmmm--all of a sudden my ubuntu machine doesn't recognize my KVM switch? Or--mouse & keyboard don't work unless I plug them directly into to the box. Feh.
@rpardee I get that sometimes with a little iogear kvm (I like it otherwise). It mostly forgets the monitor exists. Cycling it usually brings it back.
@b4cks4w ah, thanks! In my case it was only the monitor being recognized. But ignoring it for a while & coming back to it seems to have fixed it, so--yay!
