Hi Reid,
I've got 4 G4s hooked up through a USB KVM running CS1.2 default kernel
without any problems. The problem might be your switch, your USB cable or
your keyboard. So far I have used the 'older' (pre dual processor)
keyboard, a NuForm ergonomic and the new G4 keyboard without any problems.
My first instinct would be to try another keyboard, then if that doesn't
work, I'd try the switch. BTW, does it still not work if you have the
keyboard plugged directly to the G3 (connect it before it boots)?
If you are interested, here is the KVM switch I'm using:
Cheers,
Chris
