I do not have a Linux box running now, I do use a Belkin KVM that a
4 port unit that switches between
computers 1,2,3, or 4 (depending on how many I have set upa).

It is quit easy using the Scroll Lock and the number of the port I
want to use. So, I tap Scroll lock key
twice and then the computer number 1, 2 3, or 4 and it does indeed
switch.
