	At keyboard and PS/2 keyboard use the same electrical and
signalling protocol.  An adapter is just connectors and wire, so it
gets it right.  Of course, there are more keys on most modern PS/2
keyboards then there ever were on an official AT keyboard, but the
keys that are the same send the same codes.  I really don't think that
the adapter is related to the problem.  Funny state in the KVM is a
good bet.  The proof of the pudding would be to plug the keyboard in
directly, but the AT - PS/2 interface isn't designed to always recover
without rebooting, and just rebooting might fix things anyway.
