Hello David(s) Bearing in mind that LTS support for Debian 9 Stretch ends in approximately two months (2022-06-30), I'd suggest that a bug report there will probably not attract significant attention, though there is likely to be a final point release as it goes out of LTS. I would advise anybody running Debian 9 now to consider moving forwards to 10 or 11. Debian 10's EOL for stable support before transition to LTS is approximately 2022-08 - https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases If it's a bug on 9/10/11 and there's a KVM involved - it's likely to be the KVM in all honesty - I have similar problems with a KVM not recognising a trackball until it's unplugged/replugged. USB 2.0 for that one. All the very best, as ever, Andy Cater
