[PLUG] Linksys kvm switch, Linux and optical mice

[Grigsby, Garl]

It depends on the KVM switch. Some KVMs support wheel mice some don't. Some support opticals, some don't. If it supports an optical, then it should support a wheel. You would have to read up on the KVM's specs to be sure either way. As to AT keyboard, you should be able to make this work with an adapter (I have done it with a ConnectPRO MasterIT KVM switch with out any special voodoo).
