I have 3 machines attached to a switch box so i can share a monitor and
keyboard.  i don't have any  probs with the setup but occasionally i get
locked out from one system via the virtual consoles.  i can type, but i get
characters like hearts and pi signs.  after a reboot,everything is back to
normal.

i also can't switch between the consoles when this happens.  i'm running
2.2.5

i can telnet in with no prob.

please advise!
