[From Discord] Uconsole video works, mouse and keyboard are very inconsistent, mostly don’t work

Hi! I installed the kvm module into my Uconsole which had a raspberry pi compute module 4. I’m running a fresh install of the raspbian image for Uconsole that has been shared around here recently. I’m also using the recent v4 no dependencies release of open interface.
Video works great, but mouse and keyboard rarely work, and when they do it feels low performance and latency. Any advice would be super appreciated

The mouse and keyboard icon at the bottom of open interface is red, with the Orange percentage number to the left of it hovering around 60

Any advice on this? Any additional information I can provide?

The target is a raspberry pi zero 2w. Plugging a mouse or keyboard into the zeros usb slot directly works fine. Though I’ve found once the Uconsole kvm mouse and keyboard stop working, it somehow kills the usb port on the zero - trying to plug in a mouse or keyboard to this usb port after it’s stopped responding to the Uconsole results in no response from the mouse or keyboard. A reboot of the zero is required to bring that usb port back online

what baudrate rate in Openterface you are using? Suggest to use 9600 if you are using 115200
