For within X, I don't think so. I have a USB KVM, and I have had problems when switching, the KVM seemed to hang and needed its power cycled. That involves unplugging all USB connectors to hosts that have power to the motherboard, and replugging them. Fortunately, it seems to have settled down, it's a fairly tedious way to swap KV & M. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/ Please do not reply off-list
