After spending the last week trying to clean up the signal coming from my 800CT to the cyvisor, I gave up and went with the method Jeremy used, which was to run the VGA thru a small KVM switch first. This made the signal perfect and the cy is now working great. The only problem is, the switch must be connected to a PS/2 keyboard to work, and I don't have a PS/2 keyboard port on my subnotebook. How can I trick the KVM into thinking there is a keyboard there? Should I be able to do it just by applying 5v to the correct pins, or does it need actual keyboard circuitry? I'm getting really frustrated with not having a PS/2 port to interface; I am very tempted to get a busport USB card just to use a PS/2->usb converter with. Ideally, I want to chuck this subnotebook all together and go with PC/104 but the budget doesn't allow that at the moment. Also along the same lines... what other methods could I use to get a PS/2 input into this blasted thing? I mapped out the pins on the connectors for the laptop keyboard so I'd be able to build a chording keyboard using the kernel hack that was posted to the list a while back, but scrapped that idea because it was difficult to interface to the connectors. There's a mini dock with PS/2 expansion, but it's larger than the whole notebook. It appears as if there is some circuitry related to the PS/2 connector on there as well so I don't think it's as easy as just finding the right pins to wire a PS/2 connector to. I very well may end up stacking the whole huge dock circuit board on top of the notebook just to get the right connectors, but what a waste of space!
