Has anyone gotten DeX to work with a KVM? Currently I'm trying to switch between Linux desktop and dex running on a tablet, however keyboard and mouse doesn't work. Any thoughts as to why?

Nylah, this has nothing to do with the KVM. DEX works fine without a KVM. It's the addition of the KVM where mouse and keyboard don't work.

Well folks I found the problem. I needed to turn passthrough mode on. Once there mouse and keyboard work well. This is coming via tab 6 dex into kvm.
