I have a KVM swtichbox from NTI which allows me to use a Macintosh mouse and keyboard for a Mac and a PC.
Which would be great except that the user is addicted to this Logitech Trackman Marble with programmable keys, and the signal from the Trackman is being filtered somehow by the switchbox. So the programmable keys don't work, on either the Mac or PC. A regular click works fine, and even the right-mouse click on the PC works (Command-click does this).
Has anyone been successful in getting third-party mice to work in this situation?

I know that on startup the Kensington drivers look for the device and if it is not there then the drivers don't load. Have you tried booting the machines one at a time with the switchbox set to that machine so that the drivers get loaded (if this is the same thing)?
