do you have the kvm switch on the linux box when you power on? I've noticed 
under serveral different OS's that when you start a machine up, but have the 
kvm focus on #2 (for example) that when you switch back, I have no keyboard 
or mouse. I've seen this under win2k and linux (under 2000 you have to reboot 
the damn machine). Do the ports have any kind of internal power or something 
that the pc doesn't recognise unless it's connected first go? when you reload 
X does it not query these ports for an active device?
