I recently tried a Belkin OmniView SOHO KVM (model no. F1DS104U), which
claims to be Linux compatible, but it turned out to be rather flaky[1].
That's exactly the model I'm using. The only problems I have are that it when I'm using "scrlck scrlck <num>" to switch ports from the keyboard, and the port I'm currently on is a FreeBSD server's text console, then it occasionally locks up after the first "scrlck" until I hit one of the physical port selection button (at which point the problem goes away for another long while).
I suspect you got a bad unit, or maybe one in need of a firmware upgrade (you can flash that unit with a special serial cable). Otherwise, I absolutely love mine. Its best feature is that I can pipe 1600x1200 85hz video through it without *any* signal ghosting, color distortion, or other visual problems. Simply put, I can't tell the difference between video that's been piped through the KVM and that which was sent directly from a computer to the monitor.
Give it another shot with another unit. I think you'll like it.
The Raritan switchman has no issues with DOS, Debian, WINDOZE 2000 with an ImPS/2 wheelmouse.
Now I want KVM over TCP!
