ao486 freezing with kvm

Unread post by hsnewman »

I have a kvm, and when I switch between computers while in the ao486 core, it sometimes looses the keyboard. I've tried all kinds of things including turning off fast usb polling, nothing has worked. Although the core can't see the keyboard, I can still get to the OSD. Could this be a bug in the core rather than issues with the MiSTer or KVM?

I don't think so, I've used two different Vga / PS2 KVM and they always worked...

Does the KVM present a keyboard and mouse to whatever it's plugged into, whether it's selected or not? Or does the KVM "unplug" the keyboard and mouse when you switch away from it?

It can go either way, I've tried both. I find that after I switch screens I have to press esc to gain control and not have issues.
