If the kvm isn't USB2, or if it was off-spec, it might not be fully compatible with the keyboard. Generally if the 3 lights are on solid, it means its getting some juice, if not plenty, but its not initializing right.

Given that they keyboard is advertised as having a USB 2.0 hub built in along with its price and overall quality and modernity (is that a word?), I feel pretty comfortable thinking it uses USB 2 for real. The KVM much less so. I have access to multimeters and such if you have suggestions for finding out, or anything else I can try. (I'm not yet sure why this question was asked frankly, but I'm hoping this leads to my stuff working eventually!) _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
