Similar issue here, only I'd lose the mouse on all boxes connected to the Belkin KVM. I could recover the mouse on FreeBSD by running moused and using /dev/sysmouse, then restarting moused when there was a problem, but the Windows 2000 box required a reboot (as far as I could tell, but I'm no NT admin). Ultimately, I attached the mouse back to the serial port and don't have the flakey behavior on FreeBSD. When switching to the W2K box, I frequently have to do sequential ritual left-button, center-button clicks to get things working again (cf, above NT admin comment :-) .
