KVM-switches are great, however I have spotted two different 'versions' out there - the onces doing PS2/emulation (or rather, caring about PS/@ in any way) and the onces that don't. The problem is the mouse - if you switch from e.g. Plan9 to Windows on a 'cheap' KVM-switch, you may notice that the mouse does not work for a second or two - and when you switch back, you will notice that the mouse does not work completely anymore. I have both versions of such switches here, the onces which 'don't work with Plan9' are not connected to the power-grid, maybe that is an indication (no powergrid, no PS/2-emulation). I must admit I am not familar with the PS/2 specifications, so I have no idea about the why.
