The mouse needs to send a mouse replug event. There are two possibilities: a: The mouse does not send such an event: in this case the driver has no chance at all to detect this condition. (I don't know what happens. I don't own a KVM switch). b: The mouse does send this event. The sequence sent can also be part of a normal mouse sequence. Therefore the driver needs to do some timing to detect this situation. This is not trivial to do from userland. Currently the code doing this is turned off. You could try Protocol "Auto" It notices that something the data format changed and will try to reinitialize the mouse.
