Hello,
Can someone help me find a "2xUSB 2xVGA KVM Switch" which is compatible with Proxmox VE?
The one I am using is not compatible; this is the "Aten CS22U"!
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

I don't know what you mean by compatible?
KVM Switches are not integrated into the OS.
VGA and USB should always the same on any OS.
 
Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
I believe the title of my topic is wrong.
My problem is that I did not have access to my keyboard and mouse (USB) when I launched my VM with GPU Passthrough.
In fact, when I configure the VM via the Proxmox-VE graphical interface, in "VM / Hardware / Add USB peripherals", the USB keyboard and mouse coming from my "USB KVM switch" and connected to the PC do not appear in the list!
But I solved my problem, thanks to the "USB physical port mapping" page of the Proxmox documentation (https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/USB_physical_port_mapping).
I added the following lines in the .conf file of my VM:
usb1: host = 1-2
usb2: host = 1-1
and everything is working now.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Ricardo
PS : Can you put the subject in SOLVED!
