I had the same problem and in my case i found a solution. When you are in linux "mouse and keyboard are working" and you want to switch to another box, before you use the switch to do the switcihng, go to any of the non-graphical terminals "ctr alt F1" and then use the switch. When you go back to linux, press enter and then use "ctr alt F7" to go back to your X session. Everything worked fine for me when I did this. My mouse and keyboard, which used to stop responding, now work fine. I hope this works for u too... let me know.
