Doesn't work with Linux!, September 9, 2003 Reviewer: cruss575 from Woodbridge, Virginia USA I have an older Omnicube and had attached two linux boxes, one solaris box and one windows box. I needed another KVM and liked the audio component on this device. I also had good results with my old Omnicube, so I decided to get this one. Unfortunately, this device does not work correctly with linux! With one RH linux box and one windows box, everything is peachy; however as soon as you add the second linux box onto this KVM, the mouse goes haywire. I have tried changing mice, switching ports, going between USB and PS/2, and different cables. I finally called Belkin and was told there was one TID for linux and it involved changing the XF86Config to use the PS/2 protocol instead of IMPS/2. Well I tried that and as soon as I restarted X, the mouse went haywire again. I have never returned anything mail order because of the hassle, but this device is useless to me so it is going back!

This (the Belkin OmniView) is the second one. An IOGear was my first and it suffered primarily from a problem where it masked the true identify of my mouse and keyboard (it only offered "standardized" versions of both to attached systems). They both barely perform the basics. What's wrong with this unit? 1. It's not trustworthy. It will sometimes lose contact with my mouse, keyboard or both switching between systems. 2. Following the directions to remedy the problems makes the value of this KVM much smaller. Belkin asks you not to use any additional software related to your mouse or keyboard. I'm trying this without success on the mouse and haven't tried it on the keyboard. The major bummer here? I won't be able to use the handy media, Internet, and email features provided on my keyboard. I will say that a Belkin 8-port KVM I have in the office works great with my Microsoft keyboard (including the extra buttons for media/etc.). However, I need this to work with other brands as well (I remotely suspect that wireless keyboards, my primary focus, are even more troublesome since the transmitters don't like losing power when switching systems). 3. Belkin doesn't support today's more enhanced keyboards and mice (I've tried Logitech's and one other brand). The keyboard manufacturers likewise don't support KVMs. What a kroc! If you can avoid KVMs, do. Try using Windows XP's Remote Desktop feature, creative keyboard/mouse placement and/or just using the handy multi-input features of most newer monitors.

No ghosting or image degredation. However it's biggest drawback is that you have to buy the cables and they are expensive particularly if youget the gold standard which you should to minimise any ghosting. Others may have used the cheaper cables and they may work but even they are costly. Hopefully the price will come down in time. But if you want something that works go for it. Also you may not need this model with audio inputrs if your speakers have two inpout chanells. SO you maybe able to cut cost that way.
