had a kvm switch once and it sucked even for just ps2.  now i find it
rare for the need to access the real keyboard/mouse of a machine.
expecialy in the case of plan9 where you can use drawterm or vnc.

in case you want to use 2 monitors and only switch for keyboard/mouse
input you can use the synergy client [1] for plan9.  (expecting you are
using window/unix on the other machine)

Folks:

I am using usb/kb to provide support for my keyboard & mouse which are
plugged into a KVM.  They both seem to work well enough.  I still have
to use a PS/2 keyboard to input the mount point & user but at least
things start working when rio is available and I can do the "usb/kb"
thing.

My problem is when I switch to another machine and then come back to
my plan9 installation: the keyboard keeps working but the mouse stops
responding to all input.

I also get the following error when this happens:

usb/kb: mouse: read: usb endpoint stalled

Does anyone know how if it is possible to make the mouse portion of
usb/kb somewhat more resiliant to disappearing/reappearing?  I would
have hoped that this were possible seeing as how it's USB.


Thanks in advance,

Matt
