KVM Problems with Intel Motherboard

Heres an interesting one. I have a pc with an Intel D845GRG Motherboard whic
h works perfectly (Win2k OS).

However, when I plug it into my Compaq 8 port KVM (Keyboard/video/monitor) s
witch the video still works fine but the mouse and keyboard are dead. I've
tried various ports on the KVM switch and I have other PC's which work on al
l the ports so the KVM is ok. The keyboard num lock / scroll lock dont work
/ dont light up at all and there is no response from keyboard or mouse.

Any ideas?

Cheers

This is interesting...

Try surfing through the BIOS and see if you can tell it to ignore error on keyboard and PS2 port, that may help.

The only thing I can think of it that the motherboard doesn't like the impedence of the input registers of the KVM, though I can't say why that would happen.

i came across this problem with one of our servers a while back, it was an adder kvm (4port) switch which had software switching (ctrl+alt+1/2/3/4) and there was no hard switch, adder never said what the prob was but the dude came in with a laptop and serial cable and flashed the switch and it worked fine after that, question is, is your softswitch? (or hotswitch i dunno what its called) if it is does it have a serial port, if it does can you use hyper terminal to connect and see if some settings could be changed, if not is the software available to flash it, if it isnt softswitch I guess you could always ask compaq
