What kernel are you running?

Reason I ask, as soon as I switched to a "post 2.6" kernel (any RC for
3.0), I was no longer able to use the hot switch for my KVM. Mine is by
Rosewill and its hot-key is double hit of the num-lock key.

I had one computer with a 2.6.38 kernel and one with 3.0.0-RC(something)

I could switch from the 2.6.38 kernel machine to the 3.0.0 kernel
machine using the HOT-KEY. I could not switch back using the HOT-KEY.

When I updated the 2.6.38 machine to a new kernel 3.1.0, I could no
longer switch with the HOT-KEY from that machine either.

This seems to me to no be an XFCE issue. As it happened with GNOME, KDE
and with XFCE on either machine.
