Hi Bill,
the greatest problem for a KVM switch is to switch the video signal in a
good quality!! Most of the cheaper switches are good for 1280 * 1024 only.
If your display resolution is higher you must look for a special type with a
high frequency of the video channel.
I have a KVM switch where I must press the <ctrl>-key twice to switch to the
other computer. That works fine.
