Is there something specific to Risc OS that makes it dislike KVMs?

I have a two computer setup here, with a W10 PC, and a Fourtress Ra-Pi
running Risc 5.3, using a two port KVM. It's been fine for maybe a year or
so, switching happily between the two computers, but has now started
acting up. When I switch to the PC, everything is fine, but switching back
to the Ra-Pi, I often get a blank screen, or sometimes video but no mouse,
requiring me to pull the power on the Pi and start all again, which is
real pain.

I have tried swapping the input ports with no improvement. The windows PC
is fine when I switch back and forth, always coming back, but the Ra-Pi
never does now.

I am looking at replacing the KVM, hoping it will cure the problem, but
why?
