Have you tried the following fix for the jumping mouse/kvm problem?
Posted this earlier this month. Worked for several other people and I
have since tried out on my stuff and works here also.
Have seen this problem as well on the Belkin KVMs.
I came across this item on another list. Have not tried it myself but
it sounds like it fixed a few peoples problems with this.

They say to put psmouse.proto=bare on the kernel command line or
proto=bare on the psmouse module command line.
There was some discussion of two other options imps and exps. exps
apparently causes the mouse jumping problem. imps appears to get a
mouse with a wheel working as expected.
Again I have not tried this but this may be an actual fix to this
problem.
