[geeks] IOGear CS176* KVMs?

[Todd Killingsworth]

I've got an IOGEAR DVI/USB 4 port kvm.  I'm not impressed, but then I 
paid retail.

On bootup, I get wierd cyan ghosting on my video, which doesn't clear 
until I change ports to a port with no video, wait for my monitor to 
register "no signal", and change back.

Also, it doesn't play well with a cordless keyboard mouse combo.

Go into it with your eyes open.
