my cheapo noname kvm presents it's ps2 keyboard and mouse ports as

Does yours have USB cabling to match or does it have ps2 cables?

it takes two ps2 (key+mouse) and three usb in - then one usb (2
total)
out to each box. then there's the video of course.
when the kvm switches, the usb devices are detached and then attached
to the new target, which means there's a discernable lag (couple
seconds) before they become active. also requires moused under x11
as
the /dev/ums entry comes and goes - dosen't have the same issue with
the keyboard.

I see, mine only has ps/2 connections, so I'm still looking for psm0
when the mouse is plugged into the KVM switch. Plugging the mouse
directly to the box is a solution but it is only KV not KVM.

How could the machine tell the difference? Does your KVM pretend it is
a
keyboard and mouse when you are not switched to that machine? Mine
does. In
that way, I can boot a machine and then switch to it and it will work.
That may be the trick, I typically boot both machines at the same time.
The windows box doesn't care, it works every time. I turned off the BSD
box and rebooted with the KVM selector on its port and everything
works. There is still the possibility that the KVM switch is flaky.
