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?

I had the mouse + no keyboard problem too with my adderview keyboard/monitor switch.
I found that if I restart the x-server I can use the keyboard ... so after every reboot, I have to restart the x-server before logging in, and then the keyboard will work.

If I boot to Linux 8.1 (on KVM channel #1) I can use the mouse but I can't use the keyboard [snip]
I also use a KVM switch with my SuSE 8.1 system, but I've never seen this problem! In case it matters, my switch is a MyHopper2.
My keyboard always works but the mouse never works...(Ps2/2) I have given up on this problem.. vishal
