I have a USB trendnet TK-209 KVM switch. It switches between all the machines I've tried it with when the NumLock-NumLock hotkey sequence is pressed. It's worked successfully on:
Windows XP
Windows 7
OpenSUSE
Debian
However, it's not switching on my Slackware box while I'm in KDE. If I log out of X, it does work though. It seems like KDE is interfering with the key sequence.
Does anyone know what I can check out or do to fix the problem?
Q6: How do I switch from one computer to another with the KVM switch?
A6: PC User: Push Buttons, Universal Hot-Key Commands or Client Switching Software
Mac User: Push Buttons
Linux User: Push Buttons, Universal Hot-Key Commands
If you still encounter problems or have any questions regarding the TK-209K/TK-209K, please contact
TRENDnet's Technical Support Department.
Almost certainly a KDE 4 problem, note that the Hot-Keys don't work in Macs. Be thankful that the 2 model has buttons.
Which KDE 4 are you using?
Have you contacted their Technical Support Department?
