For some reason, my PS/2 mouse is not detected when I go through
my Keyboard/Video/Mouse switcher (Belkin #F1D074). If I reboot
with the mouse plugged directly into the PS/2 port, the kernel
creates /dev/psm0 just fine. I can then swap the cable to the
one via the KVM switch and the mouse works fine. But if I boot
with the KVM mouse plugged in, /dev/psm0 doesn't get created and
I can't use the mouse at all.

Any ideas? How can I force /dev/psm0 to be created correctly? If
I try:

# moused -p /dev/psm0

moused says Device not configured.
