Description of problem: 
I have a KVM that I use for switching back and forth between my G5 
and my Linux box.  It handles keyboard & mouse by acting as a USB hub 
that just disconnects from one system and reconnects to the other 
when I switch it.  I've been using this setup for a while now without 
any difficulty on Debian with kernel version 2.4. 
 
Since switching to Fedora 2 test 3, the switch fails about 80% of the 
time coming over the to the Linux box.  (The Mac always reconnects 
properly.)  All I can do is switch back and forth randomly until the 
caps lock key on the keyboard comes on, indiciating a reconnect. 
 
I did dmesg -c before a switch to see what would happen.  Here's what 
was in the logs by the time I got it to properly reconnect again:

usb 3-2.1: USB disconnect, address 30
