FC1 and Belkin OmniView 4-port switch

[Karl Hakmiller]

All,

I came across a Belkin switch (OmniView) at CompUSA that permits running up to four computers using a single monitor, keyboard, mouse and speaker-set.  It sounds like a great space saver - I have an XP Home and an FC1 machine taking up most of the table space in my study - and it would be great to get rid of one of the monitors and such.

But, I'm wondering if any listers have used this switch with a linux machine before I buy it.  I don't mind set-up problems if they can be overcome with a little patience and work but I've been burned a couple of times lately with hardware having installation software which is only written for Windows machines.

Any comments would be welcome.
