KVM Switch or in my case I had a headless machine without keyboard, but sometime things happen when I needed a keyboard, so I just took the one from the desktop machine plugged it in to the headless machine and then back to the desktop, was a pita to restart X11 to be able to use the keyboard once again. Things was even worse on a laptop when you wanted to use an external keyboard... so I rather have the dependency to udev which I can replace with eudev. -- //Aho
