One problem I have seen with two Mandrake 6.1 boxes on a KVM switch is
that if I reboot one while the other is running X, the initialization is
wrong for the X box, and the mouse doesn't work. The solution is to force
re-initialization. I do that by moving to a console with ctl-alt-f9, then
back to the X display with ctl-alt-f7. I conjecture you could get the same
results in Windows by opening up a command line window, then forcing it to
toggle between a window and full screen. I believe you do that with
ctl-alt-Enter.
