KVM alternative

[AP81]

Hi,

I originally had this posted in the Hardware forum, but was advised that this forum may be of more help...

I have two machines which I use for both development and some gaming: A WinXP machine and a Linux machine. In the past I've used a KVM, however a KVM restricts to a VGA monitor and PS2 mouse and keyboard.

I've now got a shiny new 24inch DVI monitor and bluetooth laser mouse and would like to utilise DVI and my mouse. The obvious answer is to use a DVI-VGA adapter and a standard mouse (with a USB-PS2 connector).

Is there much in the way of alternatives? So far I've found:
* Synergy - Using Synergy I can use two PCs with one mouse and keyboard. The problem is I'd need a second monitor to get it working properly.
* VNC/remote desktop - I could VNC into my Linux machine or remote desktop from my Linux machine to my Window machine. I really don't think Crysis will play well over it though.

Any thoughts/ideas?

They make KVMs that do DVI and USB nowdays.
