Hello David(s)
Bearing in mind that LTS support for Debian 9 Stretch ends in approximately
two months (2022-06-30), I'd suggest that a bug report there will probably
not attract significant attention, though there is likely to be a final
point release as it goes out of LTS.
I would advise anybody running Debian 9 now to consider moving forwards to
10 or 11. Debian 10's EOL for stable support before transition to LTS is
approximately 2022-08 - https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases
If it's a bug on 9/10/11 and there's a KVM involved - it's likely to be
the KVM in all honesty - I have similar problems with a KVM not recognising
a trackball until it's unplugged/replugged. USB 2.0 for that one.
All the very best, as ever,
Andy Cater
