Possibly the problem is with the exact mode of the keyboard/mouse
controller. I can give an example:
I have a KVM (Connectpro BA-12P, can't remember
the name of OEM now) installed with UnixWare machines which
mostly works but when I exit from KDB (the UW kernel debugger) 
the keyboard hangs. Disconnecting and re-connecting the physical 
keyboard fixes the problem.

My guess is that the KVM handles properly only a subset of the
commands that may be set to and from the keyboard, so if some
unsupported command passes through it all the kinds of weird
effects start happening.
