Is there something to be enabled in order to use KVM switche

[nikemen]

I am trying to use a KVM, really just KM for T41, dock II and two external monitors.

When I kick over to the DOCK side of the world, the T41 doesn't respond to mouse at all. It responds to the KB, but the mouse just doesn't come up.

Any thoughts on this?
thanks

I have a T42p with the Port Replicator II and an Iogear 4 port PS/2 KVM and was running into the same problems as discussed on this forum. I tried the following items without help:

1. Used a PS/2 -> AT converter and an AT -> PS/2 converter in-line (suggested from Iogear web site).

2. Used a PS/2 -> USB convert to plug mouse cable into USB plug on Port Replicator.

I was almost to the point of simply ordering a new mouse ($16 for the mouse sounded better than $130 for a new KVM) when I found the following product from Iogear.

I just got it this morning and it seems to work great. I purchased this item from TigerDirect for $19.99 (plus shipping).

Hope this helps.

With my Linkskey KVM switch, the following key combination will reset the mouse when it doesn't respond:
<Scroll Lock><Scroll Lock><End>.

Sweet, I had been looking for a good deal on a Dual PS/2 --> USB converter. Thanks bcrooker.
