I'm looking for a full Mac-compatible KVM switch.

Here is the setup that I have:
1. Mac Pro with DVI video out (using a DVI to VGA converter to connect my 21" Dell monitor to it, for now)
2. Linux PC with VGA out

I have tried Belkin's Flip (USB model) (http://www.belkin.com/flip/), and it doesn't work very well with my Mac (meaning that it doesn't seem to like the fact that I am using a DVI to VGA converter). I am taking it back for a refund, and need to know if anyone is using anything that I would be able to use. The Flip worked fine with the Windows PC (which will become the Linux PC in a few days), but didn't bring up video on the monitor when switching to the Mac. I know that the keyboard and mouse were working through the KVM switch on the Mac, but not the monitor.

Thanks!
