Ok, update: I put the corded keyboard directly into the
server and, VOILA, it works fine. Now I notice that
my workstation (also connected via KVM) is starting
to act weird. The mouse is suddenly jerky, and although
the keyboard is more responsive, it still seems a little
slower. So I guess my most recent question would be
has anyone heard of a *KVM* acting this way? I have a
4-port Cybex, and as far as what I've heard, Cybex makes
pretty good KVM's. Guess it is time to send those guys
an email.
I love my KVM, and it turns around and stabs me in the
back... :( At least it is not the motherboard. The
KVM also has an DC outlet which the docs says is used
if you stack multiple KVMs on top of each other. I wonder
if I plugged it in if it would fix the problem...

Both keyboard & mouse are PS/2.
Tim: I read up in the motherboard manual, and it
does not contain any reference to any "breakers"
for the keyboard (or anything else).
