Me, the scroll wheel hasn't worked in about the last 10 kernels while attached to a Belkin KVM
Scroll wheel works just fine. The only oddity here is the cursor zips off to usually the lower right corner of the desktop a couple of times a day and I have to unplug the mouse whenever I switch systems through the KVM or it goes REALLY weird. The dart off to the lower right corner usually occurs when attempting to drag something. This is with a Mitsumi mouse and a Tyan Tiger MPX motherboard. The Belkin KVM is one of the four port ps/2 only types. It's old but meets my needs (for that matter the system is old and so am I).

Cheers,
Dave
