I have the exact same set-up, without the extra mouse. I find that if 
the mouse is frozen when the Iyonix boots up, I just need to switch to 
one of the other inputs and back again, and the mouse picks up. My KVM 
switch is the 4-port version.

What do you have the mouse type set to in Configure? Mine is set to 
"Alternative USB Mouse".

I do have an oddity with the keyboard with this set-up - the |\ key 
(the one between left-shift and Z) does not work on the Iyonix, 
although it does on the other 3 computers. [1] The only way I can get 
the backslash or vertical bar is to use !XChars. It doesn't matter 
which keyboard I use.
