I replaced a Belkin 4 port unit with one from IOGEAR.  The IOGEAR kvm
includes audio as well.  Have had no problems with it under linux.  Have
one Windows 2000 system that does have a problem with the mouse.  But I
suspect that is a problem with system and since I don't use it very much
I just slapped a separate mouse on that box.
