I had a desktop setup that worked just fine when connected directly to the kvm. When I hooked it up to the kvm via a linksys (ugh!) kvm switch, I also lost the mouse. I had to change to mouse protocol to get the mouse back. I had to switch the protocol back and forth depending on whether I had the system hooked up directly, or via the kvm switch. That setup doesn't exist anymore, so I can't check the details of what protocols were involved. I would suggest a bit of grunt work trying various protocols. Hopefully one will work with your switch.
