*UPDATEI'm happily mousing in X via 
jhf's recommendation of passing kernel parameters straight to the module. Thank you jhf!
Hello all, I'm having a problem with my KVM mouse acting up under X. When I was running 2.5.10 in gentoo last year my mouse worked under X perfectly.
First of all, I'm using a wireless logitech optical wheel mouse, with a usb to ps2 converter, hooked into a 4 port PS/2 Belkin Omniview KVM.
Upon upgrading to Debian etch running 2.6.15, my mouse jumps erradically all over the screen in X. After reading some google results, many suggested that the usb to ps/2 converter was the culprit. However, with a hardwired ps2 mouse connected directly to the KVM, the erradic jumping problem still persists. In addition, any mouse ps2 or usb directly connected to the machine, bypassing the KVM works perfectly.
The following is the relevant section of my xorg.conf
I've set the protocol from IMPS2, to MouseManPlusPS2, and then finally auto - which seemingly has effected nothing.
I'm very certain that a large majority of the linux community uses a kvm to switch between multiple computers running different OSes. However, I'm not certain that this KVM switch is still compatible with 2.6, like it was with 2.5. I'd like not to A: Get a new KVM, or B: Have to downgrade to 2.5.
Anyone out there that has/had a similar issue, and would like to help, I'd be in your debt. Thanks all for reading.
