I'm not sure this may change things, but have you tried it directly on your box instead of through the KVM?? I've got a M$ optical wireless and it has run fine with RH 9, FC1, MDK 9.x etc. all directly connected to the box, no KVM involved. I've never tried gentoo but can't imagine it wouldn't work.
