I use a generic 4 port KVM on my system and the only issues I've had w/ 
FC5 are if i start the pc, then go to anotehr port on the KVM, then 
come BACK to the FC5 machine after its started loading.

it appears as though FC5 wanst the mouse and kbd TEHRE when it boots or 
it wont recognioze them at all.
