Hi,
I have my monitor, keyboard and mouse shared through a KVM switch.
One host is Linux Debian bookworm 12.5 and another is laptop running
Windows 11. When I leave KVM on the laptop side for extended period I
have issues switching back to Debian side. When I switch, the screen is
blank and KB does not respond as if Debian is running headless. I had to
remote login and reboot Debian side with KVM locked on this side to get
back the monitor/KB. This happens regardless of whether I am in Xorg or
VT. I do not know how to force Debian/Linux to check for monitor/KB
again after extended period of disconnect when it has assumed it is
running headless. Any solutions?

My Debian machines have Xfce. I configure Applications Menu -> Settings
-> Power Manager -> Display -> Display power management -> Off.
