I use the Belkin KVM 4 Port SOHO as well.  Works pretty well except for
the scary beeps (no idea how to disable that).  No refresh problems or
fuzzy pictures.

I do have the problem that when switching back to linux (Redhat 7.3 and
Gnome 1.4) I loose all my mouse settings.  The mouse works, it's just
freakishly fast (I use a logitech marbleman and change the acceleration
and speed to better suit the trackball).  It doesn't matter what OS I'm
switching back from Windows, BSD, Linux, or blank slot, it always resets
the mouse and I have to exit X and startx back up to get my mouse
settings (that or go re-apply them in the gnome settings)  Any ideas?
