Actually, IF this is your problem, if you set the KVM to the OpenBSD system and LEAVE IT THERE, OpenBSD would probably work fine. You most likely did this on first install. It's the switching that kills the OpenBSD mouse/keyboard driver... Most likely, you switch it more once OpenBSD is loaded. Nick.
