Odd that you should call Belkin "cheap and generic".  When people ask me for
a KVM recommendation I always say "stay away from that cheap generic crap,
buy Belkin if you want to avoid fuzzy video at high rez."

I had trouble with my mouse and a Belkin KVM and FreeBSD that was fixed by
adding "flags 0x0200" to the psm0 device in the kernel config.  I suspect
that's a different problem than you were having, though.  (My problem was
erratic mouse movement after switching away/back to freebsd, and I think is
due to my Belkin KVM having really old firmware in it (1996 vintage)).
