If when this happen you try to plug the keyboard directly to A or B does
it works ? It may be a limitation of the KVM .
Did i understand you : A and B are always up while this happens, only C is
powerdown though when you forgot to switch the KVM to A or B while doing
it the KVM does not send the keyboard/mouse data to the other when
switched anymore .

You can build psmouse as a module and unload/reload it with modprobe. IF
this works then i was wrong above.
