It could be your PS/2-to-DB9 adapter.  I've had regular (2-button or
3-button) mice that have refused to work using such an adapter; running it
through a KVM switch could be enhancing the problem if it works while
directly connection.

Also, I've heard reports that some (intelligent) mice refuse to work
through switchboxes.
