There is a 20 sec lag when I switch from a Linux computer to Windows 7 but its instant switch from Win 7 to Linux, Ideas why? or how to fix this?

The problem is that the GSC22U doesn't do emulation. A KVM that does emulation continues to tell the disconnected computer that a keyboard and mouse are still connected and the computer doesn't drop the device. With this KVM when you switch computers it's like unplugging from one and plugging into the other, with the delay that computer has when you plug in a new device.

It's windows basically reinstalling the usb devices. I don't think there's anyway to fix it

Try disabling screen savers and power savings options on the Windows 7 machine.

Good info thanks for posting.This is an open question to anyone who knows: Any insight into whether or not a program like Parallels would work and if there are USB issues?

i have windows 7 64 bit and i had issues with it. updated firware and all. Got the replacement and it did the same thing. Updated that firmware and same thing. The pointer just randomly moves on its own. It is an issue with this operating system you can google it. Tracking issue for mamba mouse. They say it could be from having stuff like hard drives running on the computer desk but not in my case just my keyboard and mouse and monitor.

I have Windows 7 and no problems. Can't give you an answer on that question.

I never found out. It was my intention to set it up as a multi-linux test computer but when you start it for the first time you are supposed to choose Win 7 or 8. Mine was DOA so I sent it back rather than risk having to buy a copy of Windows just to see if it would work with Linux. I did read the review of a later customer who complained of having difficulty with drivers.

I'm truly sorry, but I really don't know...I recently sent 8 pages successfully in windows 8 using "Windows Fax and Scan" software and it works good. I guess It may depend on software using. &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;addition to answer &gt;&gt; I was looking thru my software included in disk, and it shows that Linux is included. good luck.

Sorry, I don't know. I have windows 7 and didn't have any issues at all. Hopefully someone else will know!

I've been using it with Windows 7 for over 6 months and no malfunctions here. What malfunction are you referring to.

I do not know about Linux? But right now I am not happy with my mouse. It worked very well at first but now NOT SO MUCH. I would find something else.

A delay is normal for USB swithes. The length of the delay seems to depend on the specific hosts and devices. This is because the new host has to redetect the devices every time. The same as if you had unplugged them. Some more expensive swtiches can emulate keyboards and mice so that the host never disconnects them.Examples: My work KVM (different manufacture) takes about 5 sec to toggle. But sometimes it doesn't work and I have to toggle several times.On my home KM (this device): My Mac sees the KM within a few seconds, but my Win 7 box takes around 30 sec.

I don't recall any significant or annoying delay. Maybe milliseconds, certainly not a second or more. Once switched, no display anomalys, BUT the computer that is connected/switched in upon boot up will connect at better resolution than the computer which is not, so one had a higher resolution than the other upon switching back and forth. Can't recall, but can probably set the 2nd computer resolution after switching.

I actually have the same question. I can say that for a while I was using a HDMI switch and didn't have any difference in lag with it or a straight connection so hopefully this will be the same.

To me, the lag time is virtually none. Very fast, in my layman's opinion. It also has a burst mode.

Games have been shown to run consistently faster on Windows 8 than on Windows 7, but only by a trivially small amount. If you do have Windows 8 and don't like the new changes to the UI, I would recommend installing Classic Shell which will give you back a standard start menu, allow you to disable hot corners and boot directly to desktop.

My IT serviceman said that it was veryyyyyy lenghty to transform this machine from Linux to Windows since there was no disk of utilities for running this machine on Windows and he had to search and download many from the web , with lots of trial and error time expenses .

Yes though we use Ubuntu. Ubuntu is much faster than Windows but requires added software. Once completed it will manage everything but hi-def mode. Windows is no longer supported for this model and it would be slow running on window. I use this computer for everything (with Ubuntu/linux) and find that it is fast and reliable.
