On the KVM point I have 4 port Belkin unit with RHEL3 on one machine and
RH9 on another and the only problem I get is the mouse going wild
occasionally when I switch this is evenly split between the two systems.
This is always fixed by switching form the GUI to a console and back
again (no need to log in just switch and back). I have not seen it with
the Fedora machine but its not been switched much while in use so it
would be unfair to comment further.
