KVM issues.. need some input

[TheTyrant]

Hardware: Edimax EK-C4 4 Port KVM switch
Link:http://www.edimax.com/html/english/products/EK-C4.htm

Overview: I'm not too familiar with KVM switches so im asking here to see if i can get some insight on my issue. Im trying to connect my KVM to my mac box, but just the video part, cuase the mac only has USB ports, and this is a ps/2 kvm switch, i just need the kvm to show the video. but i can't get it to work at all. Its not displaying nor showing there is a active connection.


Questions: With KVM switches does it matter if the mouse and keyboard are connected for the kvm to recognize video?

What do you suggest i do, other then ordering a usb kvm switch?


~thanks for responses/

You may or may not need the kb/mouse plugged in... but there are ps2->usb adapters out there for under ten bux. I'm unfamiliar with that KVM, so I wouldnt know for sure if you need them plugged in or not. Though, if they're not plugged in, theres not hotkey switching, hehe.
