Does this still happen under 2.6.9-current? If it does, it may mean that your keyboard or KVM takes too long to stabilize when you switch connections. To fix it you may need to increase one of the timeout values in the kernel. First try the newer kernel and see what happens. If it doesn't work, I'll tell you what to try changing.
