Oh BOTHER!
I've been fiddling around for a couple of months, unplugging my single PS/2 keyboard from one box and plugging it into the other, repeatedly.... and I already KNEW this software existed.
So, it's 12 minutes later, given that the s/w was already in the Ubuntu repository, and I'm happily moving my mouse from screen to screen, with the keyboard accompanying it.
I'm assuming the software is smart enough that, when I power down the other machine, it will revert the keyboard and mouse to this one.
Thanks for the reminder.... but where were you, two months ago?
