KVM switching

(1/2) > >>

Siplus:
Does anyone have a particular KVM switch that would work well between my Powerbook G4 and my linux/windows desktop?

I happen to work at Staples, and we have KVM switches there, but they switch by way of a key combination that i don't have on my powerbook (scroll lock: 2x, up/down arrow)

Siplus:
bump ?

bedouin:
Em, if you're using a PC keyboard on your KVM you'd have a scroll lock key and everything else.  Even if you were using a Mac keyboard you'd have; it just wouldn't have a label saying scroll lock.  It would be F14 or something; wherever the scroll lock key is.  My Kensington 'Mac' keyboard has a scroll lock status light on it, even though there's no scroll lock key (if it's hooked up to a PC).

well, this is a powerbook, and it has F1-F12 (most of which are bound with screen brightness/sound/expose), and lacks many of the standard keys on a keyboard

You couldn't use the Powerbook's keyboard to control the PC anyway; the same would be true if it were a PC laptop.  KVMs have manual switches on them I believe, and I know plenty of Mac users have them.
