Jeff,

   If you change the devices (or even just unplug/plug the same device)
on an active (powered up and initialized) HIL loop, odd effects can
occur, the most common is loss of keyboard repeat.  I believe that xset
r will restore it (but I'm not sure, someone more knowledgeable than
myself will have to verify).  Certainly rebooting the machine will solve
the problem as well.
