I also get the mouse gone wild problem intermittently with a Belkin KVM and SuSE 9.2.

I also get this behaviour every time I switch between a 9.0 and a dual-boot 9.2 and WinXP system with a bottom of the range KVM switch. What I do is make sure that whatever system I want to go to and the system I am going from are at the KDE login screen.
Then I KVM switch and mess about on the other machine. When I want to go back to 9.0, I switch the KVM and restart X by Ctrl+backspace. The mouse is then fine on the 9.0 box.
I do similar here, in that when I switch back to Linux, I switch to a text console and back to the desktop. However, while this works in SuSE 9.0, it doesn't in 9.1 or 9.2. I've got a Protec BYTELAN switch. This problem appears unique to Linux. I've never seen it happen in OS/2 or Windows.
