Hi Jason,
A workaround is to switch into text mode then switch back into
the X display using the ctrl-alt-function keys. Not great but
better than nothing.
Originally our KVM's had this problem, then they didn't and then
they did again???
I haven't had the same problem with a USB KVM and gentoo, although
if I change computers on a text display, sometimes the display
is frozen and I have to press ctrl-q to unfreeze it. X display
works fine.
Cheers,
Rhys
