I bought a USB KVM switch thinking it would be no different from my PS/2 switch except less cable mess. However, as I cycle between boxes the KVM switch does not keep "state" and the OS senses that a USB device has been removed and/or replugged back in.kernel: uhub4: vendor 0x0451 product 0x2046, class 9/0, rev 1.10/1.25, addr 2

Is anyone else running a USB KVM switch? What brand/model? Does it spew similar logfile data whilst changing between boxes?
