The short answer is get a different KVM. It's a known problem with 
Belkins. Alternatively, this:

appending 'psmouse.proto=bare' to the kernel line in /boot/grub/grub.lst
has ALWAYS worked - but it does disable the scroll wheel

there are variations on this suggestion if you hunt around in google.com\linux
on 'kvm belkin mouse problem'

You get tired of not having the scroll wheel after awhile, but it works.
