It's probably another symptom of the "console user" not being properly accounted for so the devices retain ownership by root instead of the user of the X session. See http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6885612 and related bugs.
Disabling "AllowEmptyInput" works around this by adding default keyboard/mouse entries for the older abstract devices which are never disconnected from the X server's perspective. It would be useful to have the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log from when the problem occurs (switching the KVM and back) - this is renamed to Xorg.0.log.old if you have restarted X. -Albert On Thu, 10 Jun 2010 16:09:59 -0400, Hillel Lubman <[email protected]> wrote: > I get similar issues with KVM switch and mouse with keyboard on the > same port (OpenSolaris snv_134 / SPARC).
