Unplug the mouse from the KVM, and plug it directly into the PC, 
then reconfigure the mouse to make sure the proper protocol is 
being used.

Does the mouse work in this configuration?  If so, then your KVM 
is interfering with the mouse protocol.  Bugzilla bug alias "KVM" 
has more detailed information about KVMs and their interaction 
with X.
