This is ancient history now, but I used HP KVM switches 6-12 years ago
and they weren't without problems. Regardless of OS and hardware behind
the switches, they often acted up. Some combinations were more prone to
problems, but since switching back and forth between targets would solve
the problem over 99% of the time, I never put any further effort into
it.
If it's any consolation, I've used other brand KVM switches as well and
the only one I've found quite reliable were Raritan and those cost an
arm and a leg.
