There's your problem. PS2 was never intended for hotplug.
I thought the whole idea of a KVM switch was to provide 'stealth' hotplugging
of the (K)eyboard (V)ideo and (M)ouse?

There are (were?) some cheap KVMs that were essentially big mechanical
switches that didn't do that. However, I've got what was a fairly
expensive, good quality switch (Protec Bytelan) that exhibits that
problem. My question is why does it affect only Linux? I've never seen
the problem with OS/2 or Windows. Also, with the 2.4 kernel, it was
possible to clear the problem, but not 2.6, by switching to a text
console and back to desktop.
Hi List
Thanks for all of the responses, I think I would return the item and get
a usb switch instead, or get a Link Sys switch, I heard those are better.
