The only problems I have ever had with KVM's and linux is the box will
sometimes lose the connection to the KVM.   It thinks the mouse and keyboard
have been unplugged and you can't get it to recognize them again without a
reboot.  I have seen this problem on externally powered KVM's and USB/PS2
powered models.  This may have been the older distributions or could have
been the KVM itself.  Just something to look at.
