I need a KVM switch and was wondering if you all could recommend
something.

Requirements:

1) works with linux (and X) (A linksys at work makes me unplug kvm and
plonk in a ps2 keyboard straight to computer before linux 2.6 will
find it. i am not happy with that.)

2) ps2 keyboard. My old server box bios doesn't support usb keyboard
(although things work with usb keyboard once I boot up)

3) usb mouse. My new thinkpad won't listen to ps2 mouse port due to
conflicts with its rubber*** of mouse substitute.

4) convenient hotkey (double tap ctrl or scrollock ok. double scroll
+ number not so ok)

I have both USB and PS2 keyboards. My mouse has a USB to PS2
adapter. Any recommendations?
