Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

With two different brands / models of KVM switches (both using PS/2
keyboard / mouse connectors) when an Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid box on the
switch boots into X, mouse for the entire switch stops working.

With one switch, the mouse may be used to switch ports and that
functionality even stops working.

The only work around is to power off all equipment and power cycle the
KVM switch. Most annoying!

Mice plugged directly into boxes loaded with Ubuntu 10.04 solves the
trouble. Ubuntu 10.04 works through the KVM for keyboard.

I think this might be related to an old bug I found. Since it is closed
I decided to open a new report:

"#216276 Regression: mouse support stopped working"

KVM's affected thusly are:
