The best fix I have found so far for the "crazy mouse" problem is the
following:

Have seen this problem as well on the Belkin KVMs.  

I came across this item on another list.  

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-February/msg00739.html

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.

I used the imps option which works great on my system.
