        I have two systems - one Windows, one FreeBSD - that share

        Scenario: I'm working on the FreeBSD system, and switch to the
WIndows system (push the button on the kvm) everything's fine.
        But when I switch back, I an now sitting at the Xdm prompt; I'm
guessing this means X has crashed.
        I experimented a little and discovered if I disable DBUS after
initial boot, this no longer happens.  (It makes some other things
unhappy, but I can live with that.)
        Anyone have anyideas what might be happening and how to unbreak
this?

Are the keyboard and mouse USB devices? A KVM should not disconnect them on switching, but maybe it does.

Try it without HAL by adding
  Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off"
to ServerLayout in xorg.conf.
