I also use a OmniCube KVM switch.
I also had the same mouse problem, with the KWM switch and without.

It was because gpm was running. I removed an entry from a certain file (sh!t
I can't remember which file)
I know it's not much help but some else can fill in the details.

PS: Again sorry, not much help!
