I use a USB mouse with a KVM switch through a USB/PS2 adapter.  As far as
Linux is concerned, I have a PS2 mouse.

I have a USB mouse working well.  But the KVM switch I just bought has
ps2 connectors only.  I tried to use a usb2ps2 adapter at the switch and
a ps22usb adaptor at the computer but to no avail.  It may be easier
to configure it correctly for a ps2 mouse.  how does one do that?
My XF86Config is
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Default mouse"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option      "CorePointer"
    Option      "Device"    /dev/psaux"
    Option      "Protocol"  "PMPS/2"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
    Option "ZAxisMapping"   "4 5"
