We have a bunch of belkin KVM's here at the office that have usb mice
with ps/2 adapters that work great. have you tried a different ps/2
adapter?? Are the boxes both linux or is one W_insecure_dows? Does it
fail on both?? The only other thing I can think of is if the mouse was
hooked up to the box as USB originally, and you haven't configured X for
a ps/2, maybe that's the problem....does the kbd work on both??
