Howdy and Happy New Year!

I received a Iogear Miniview III 4-Port USB KVM as an Xmas gift from my
wife. I have been having some issues with it and my Linux box. I'm hoping
someone has some insight into this. Here's what's going on:
The video switches fine, but the Linux box does not recognized the USB
mouse and keyboard when they are plugged into the front of the KVM (where
they're supposed to be plugged int). If I plug 'em into the generic USB
device ports on the back the systems sees them just fine - of course ,
then the OSD stuff does not work nor does the hot key switching. Also, the
system keeps coughing up the following message: "usb-uhci.c: interrupt,
status 3, frame #230" the frame number seems to change randomly, though.
Anybody have any experience with this or any thoughts?

Thanks
