I still stand by my opinion to avoid PS2 mice with KVMs.  The PS2 mouse
protocol is too screwed up to work reliably that way, unless the KVM is
doing an excelent job emulating the mouse while switched away from the
system (most do not do so).  Perhaps there are options in linux for
reinitializing the ps2 port when it detects a change on it.  I just
stopped using ps2 mice and went to usb instead.  No problems ever.
