No, but a properly designed PS/2 KVM maintains signals on all its
computer side interfaces regardless of which one is currently being
sent signals from the real mouse and keyboard.
I've had good luck with Linksys PS/2 KVMs.
It's my fancy (and expensive) DVI / USB KVM that messes up. It doesn't
seem to bother my iMac, but it gives one of my Linux boxes indigestion
with the appearance (according to the kernel logs) of frequent USB
device disappearance and reappearance.
