On some occasions a ping will work, but nothing else. With sshd running 
"rcsshd start" if it's not started at boot, "ssh <ip_addr>" and see if 
it responds. That will be proof positive it's keyboard/mouse input loss. 
I installed both KDE3 and KDE4 at install time on the x86_box and I'm 
running under KDE3. I can switch to kde4 this evening to see if I get 
the problem. I just plugged in a USB stick which shows up in dmesg but 
isn't mounted.
