Okay, in THAT case, the system should recognize a USB mouse,
as /dev/ums. Check

	# dmesg | grep ums

if a mouse is present. Then

	# usbdevs -v

should also report it.

Additionally, there's no need to employ moused for a USB mouse
as this kind is automatically set up by the USB subsystem (which
uses moused for that purpose, I think).

Just for understanding: You are connecting a USB mouse and a PS/2
keyboard to the KVM switch. The switch then connects to various
systems, by a PS/2 plug (keyboard connector) and a USB plug (mouse
connector). Additionally, a cable for the monitor is used. Is that
correct?
