Description of problem: F12 fails with KVM switches Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot multiple machines behind a KVM switch 2.switch around a few times 3. Actual results: one or more machines stop seeing keyboard & mouse, and have to be reset Expected results: routine switching Additional info: I have found this with four PCs, first behind an IOgear and now behind a Trendnet -- both 4-port USB KVM switches. Likely related to Bug 540584 among others An affected machine may keep the display it had last; or go dark; or launch its screensaver. Trying to escape with the Scroll Lock key, as advised on Novalug on 1/17/10, did not help. An affected machine can usually be ssh'd into from the LAN -- but use another machine *not* behind the switch, or the bug merely bites again.
This is most likely no monsoon bug. Assigning this to xorg-x11 in hope that this is right.
I am seeing the same issue. Killing the Xorg process (via an ssh session) restores the kbd/mouse/display operation but at the expense of killing off the session processes.
