I used to have the same problem but I've found a simple hack.<br>
All I do is to switch to a text terminal and back, so I press<br>
ctrl-alt-F1 and then back to<br>
ctrl-alt-F7 and it works.<br>
<br>
A better aproach if the one above does not work is:<br>
<br>
I also have about 7 no-brand KVM switches that never lock and I swith
back and forth without any problems using different Linux Boxes.<br>
Each switch holds 4 machines. I got them at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.startwest.com">www.startwest.com</a> which is
a computer store close to home.<br>
Look here at

<br>
The SKU is CAB4WAY. I also got the cables there as well. Simple but
swift solution.<br>

I think that you are right- now that I am very cafeful not to move the
switch over to an empty position (and VERY careful not to let the
mouse move while I switch), I have not yet had any problems. I have
not yet added the kernel parameters.
Now if I could just get my rat to behave as well as the mouse (yes, we
have a pet rat)...
