There's your problem. PS2 was never intended for hotplug.
I thought the whole idea of a KVM switch was to provide 'stealth' hotplugging of the (K)eyboard (V)ideo and (M)ouse?

There are (were?) some cheap KVMs that were essentially big mechanical switches that didn't do that. However, I've got what was a fairly expensive, good quality switch (Protec Bytelan) that exhibits that problem. My question is why does it affect only Linux? I've never seen the problem with OS/2 or Windows. Also, with the 2.4 kernel, it was possible to clear the problem, but not 2.6, by switching to a text console and back to desktop. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
