We use Belkin Omniview E series (4-port) KVM's and simple Belkin
2-port KVM's here at work with both CRT's and LCD's (myriad CRT's, but
mainly Sceptre IV and V LCD's) with little problem. The problems we
have run into seem to be with the OS and not the monitors. We have
found that on machines running Linux (SuSE 9.0/9.1) and using a KVM
tend to freak out on occasion (the pointer runs all over the screen
and there is very little control with the mouse; keyboard works, but
if there are multiple windows open the pointer has to hover over a
certain window to give it focus for the keyboard commands to be of any
use).
A shutdown/restart will fix the problem, but not for good. It will
eventually happen again. It may be a combination of OS/KVM/monitor,
and you may need to play with that to get one that works. I do not
think that it is strictly a monitor issue only.
We have had similar problems on a G5, but as far as I can remember I
do not recall any problems with any Windows boxes that we have (KVM
problems, that is :-) ).
Just my 1 1/2 cents. Hope you can isolate the problem.
