I have the same problem although in my case only the keyboard stops working. The mouse works fine. This is on SXCE b130. Perhaps it's because the permission on the keyboard device gets reset to root after switching and the X server can no longer open the device when the KVM switch is switched back. The following message appears in /var/log/Xorg.0.log when switching from/to the non-working machine: keyboard: Device no longer present - removing. (II) UnloadModule: "kbd" (II) config/hal: Adding input device keyboard (**) keyboard: always reports core events (**) Option "Device" "/dev/usb/hid1" (EE) keyboard: cannot open "/dev/usb/hid1" (EE) PreInit failed for input device "keyboard" (II) UnloadModule: "kbd" (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8) When I log into the machine the first time the hid1 device mentioned in the log message above has the following permission: crw------- 1 krister krister 18, 44 Jun 7 2009 hid1 After switching from/to: crw------- 1 root root 18, 44 Jun 7 2009 hid1 I read somewhere that the X server opens both the usb device and /dev/kbd and that if the usb device fails it would fall back to /dev/kbd. However, I couldn't see that using pfiles or truss.
