First is installing X on a server. Second is a KVM switch, many of which are problematic. Next is that the KVM converts USB to PS/2, which... well, maybe it's fine. Finally, a "jumpy mouse" problem with moused on console screams that it's the KVM, not moused or USB or xorg config. My suggestion would be to *not* install X on a server. If it's really required, use an actual keyboard and monitor on that server for those times when ssh -X/-Y aren't enough, and avoid the KVM. > If you use a USB mouse, set moused_enable="NO", as the USB subsystem > will call moused with the correct settings automatically. USB mice cause moused to be run anyway, but there are differences. If you want switching between X and console to be fast, enable moused.
