I've been using a Belkin 2-port USB KVM switch for a while to switch
between a couple PCs. I'm actually only using the keyboard/mouse
switching and using x2vnc to control two monitors.
I have serveral problems with this KVM switch that impact emacs most
of all, so I thought I would ask here first.
First, the meta keys (ctl, alt) appear to time out, if I hold down the
control key I am eventually typing normal characters. Also, F7 is
interpreted as a hot key and not passed.
These problems were apparently fixed by a firmware upgrade. The
problem is that after this firmware upgrade, two presses on the
control key within two seconds are now the hot key sequence. Even if
I hit other characters than control in between (so ^X4^U will be
interpreted as a hot key sequence).
Anyone have experience with a USB KVM that doesn't interfere with
control characters?
Thanks.
Jeff
