Title: Topolino III und KVM-Switch
Post by: duesi on March 18, 2003, 05:36:03 PM

I bought a Topolino III Mouse-Adapter from Vesalia..

When I connect the PS/2 Mouse direct to the Adapter it works fine..

But over my KVM-Switch it dosen't.. :-?

Don't get me wrong...
The mouse works fine when connected to the Topolino...
I have no drivers installed yet...

Simply no reaction when connected through the
Switch

Duesi's dilema:

:-? If the switch is a simple pin-to-pin pass through affair, then it should work.  Perhaps one of the contacts, inside or out, is dirty or missing?  Worth checking out, I suppose....

I bought a mechanical KVM-Switch now...
I will test it when I arrive at home this evening

@Thomas (I think it should work this way, I will  let you know)

OK it works with my new Switch (a mechanical one) but the Picture in 1024x768 mode is bad...
If anyone has an active switch which works with the Topolino let me know...

I've tried to use those adapters with KVMs before.  The LinkSys brand KVM I had was only guaranteed to work with Windows!  I tried Linux on the same PC and it would not get the mouse stuff working through the KVM.

However, try looking for a KVM that is tested to work with Linux, and I'll bet that it works for you.  I've got a different KVM now that works with both Linux and Windows without any real problems.  But since my A3000/CSPPC died a year ago I can no longer try it with my PS/2 mouse adapter.  :-(

What a hell ! I've got now a electronic Switch which works with Linux...

But still not with my Topolino PS/2-Adapter

If anyone knows where I can get an AMIGA-Mouse Port to PS/2-Adapter which works through a KVM-Switch please let me know...

I'm getting mad :-x
